My classroom is welcoming to guitar students with diverse backgrounds and skills. You can expect an engaging private music class that is adaptable and will teach you the songs and techniques that you most want to play. I can teach all music styles, including pop, rock, country, classical, blues, jazz, and flamenco. I am an acoustic and electric guitar instructor with more than 25 years of experience playing and performing.  

This is a private guitar lesson that can be booked by a student at any skill level. The guitar student can be brand new, advanced, or anywhere in between in terms of guitar-playing skill level. Parents may help young learners by tuning the guitar before the session. I can help tune during the session, but it may take away from the available time to play guitar. Be sure that the student has access to amplification if using an electric guitar. The student/parent can inform the teacher of any songs or areas of focus for the session. 

Some possible areas of focus during the private session are:
- Acoustic Guitar basics
- Electric Guitar basics and te
- Open chords
- Barre chords
- Rhythm and strumming patterns
- Fingerpicking techniques and patterns
- Music theory basics
- Scales and lead guitar 
- Percussive guitar techniques
- Dynamics / How to make a good performance
- Learn and practice a particular song that the student wants to learn or a song that matches the student's skill level
- How to play and sing, while maintaining rhythm
- How to "jam" on the guitar with other musicians
- How to improvise
- Songwriting skills and techniques
