I will teach you how to play the classical guitar, including techniques for holding a playing the guitar, along with how to read music. Beginners welcome! With the techniques you learn in this class, you will build an excellent foundation for the guitar that you can apply to any music style. I am patient, fun, and enthusiastic about every student at every age and ability level. At this time, I am offering small group lessons (up to six students). In addition, I offer free recitals throughout the year so you will get performance experience. You do not need to have any experience to start, but you do need to have a guitar. I can assist in that as well.

You will learn basic classical guitar techniques and how to read music by playing over 50 beautiful classical pieces, 26 exercises and 14 duets. This will set up an excellent foundation of guitar skills that you can use with any music style!
