I offer lessons with personalized attention in a comfortable home setting. With over 30 years of experience teaching private guitar lessons I can get you pointed towards that next level with a clear practice routine and a thoughtful explanation. All levels and ages welcome. Flexible scheduling and pricing.
I always strive to create a learning environment that feels safe, comfortable, and inspired. It takes a lot of work to get good at an instrument, but it can also be a ton of fun along the way.
I have a degree in studio music and jazz from the University of Miami. I spent 25 years as a free-lance musician in the San Francisco bay area. I have toured the world, played thousands of gigs, and worked with some musical legends.
