Private Guitar Lessons For All ages

My lessons is tailored for each student and I teach a variety of styles; I do not believe in a ‘one size fits all’ model. I will teach any age and any skill level, so long as the student is willing to learn. If you are interested in lessons, please fill out the form in my ‘Contact’ page. I look forward to hearing from you!

Pricing

I charge $25 for a 30-minute lesson and $50 for a 60 min lesson.

About me

I have been playing guitar since the age of 13. After my teenage years I decided to pursue music full time. I have degrees from Grand Rapids Community College, Grand Valley State University, and University of Cincinnati (CCM). Up until recently I worked and performed in Grand Rapids, MI. Although I still perform in West Michigan, I have recently relocated to the Twin Cities where I will be attending the University of Minnesota to pursue my doctoral degree in Music Performance.

My musical tastes vary. I play solo classical concerts, weddings, gigs with bands, and in many pit orchestras for musicals.

Some Background

Over the past 10 years, teaching has become a passion of mine. When I first picked up the guitar at 13, all I want to do was play. I was and still am fascinated by the guitar. The shape, the frets, the strings, and the sound were all I thought about. When I first began teaching 10 years later, it was for practical purpose. I have come to the opinion that a musical education is a vital part of a liberal education. Every day I teach, I see my students growing and maturing as people and it is humbling to watch. I am always excited to teach and even more excited to learn from my students.
