“There’s nothing more rewarding than watching a student discover the magic of the guitar. I love guiding players as they learn to connect with the instrument, find their own voice, and create music that feels alive. My approach focuses on curiosity, exploration, and building a strong foundation—technique, chords, scales, and improvisation all become tools for expression rather than rules. Each lesson is designed to help students play with confidence, clarity, and skill.”
I regularly guide students from the very first step—and it’s an absolute joy every time. Beginning guitar is an initiation: learning how to hold the instrument, summon sound, and form a lasting bond with it. We move deliberately from the ground up, building a solid foundation that supports a lifetime of playing.
You’ll learn through music that reveals the guitar’s inner logic, developing both confidence and curiosity as the instrument begins to speak back.
