My teaching approach :

What are YOUR goals? Where do YOU want to go on the guitar? That's what we work on -- YOUR EASY, FUN PROGRESS on the guitar! I'm a working, professional musician/educator and attended Berklee College of Music. Playing guitar is one of the most stimulating, satisfying and FUN things a person can do! My students say they love me, and I'm very beginner-friendly, too! It's ALL ABOUT YOU.

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following

This varies, depending on the level of the student. We make steady, fun progress at every lesson! :)

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following

Many factors are considered; technical ability, song repertoire, discuss goals on the guitar.

The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following

One who is ready to play at his lesson, practices daily and has a positive, willing-to-learn attitude!

Guitar lessons typically take place on these days and hours:

At my students' convenience, whenever possible.

My influences are:

Kenny Burrell, George Benson, Pat Martino, Wes Montgomery, Pat Metheny, Jimi Hendrix, David Gilmour

Fee Schedule :

$25 per 1/2 hour weekly private lesson, $35 per 45-minute weekly lesson or $45 per hour, payable monthly in advance. Once a month or so, and when you're ready, you'll have an opportunity to play with other guitarists in a low-pressure, FUN group setting, which can be a very satisfying and exciting experience! You'll apply what you've learned in private lessons and, again, you'll have FUN!

My cancellation/booking policy :

Lessons are payable in advance monthly on the first lesson of the month for 4 or 5 weekly lessons, depending on how many weeks are in that month. 24 hours notice is required for cancellations, or the student will be required to pay for the lesson. I will TRY to make up missed lessons, depending on my schedule, but this can be difficult. I am very flexible in this area---I want you happy :)

Which methods of payment are accepted?

Cash, Credit Cards, Checks, Money Orders, Paypal
