Learn Guitar or Mandolin! Classical, jazz, bluegrass, and more!

من 209.57 AED /س

You can learn to play the acoustic guitar, whether you are interested in classical studies, jazz, American country music, folk, or just want to play songs you like! I also offer lessons in mandolin, both with chords and melody, to learn bluegrass or other traditional styles.

We will spend time learning proper technique that sets you up for success by avoiding future physical roadblocks, making learning easy and swift for you. We will also learn chords, and begin learning songs of your choice, including melody and rhythm. We will have you playing your first song by the end of the second lesson!

معلومات إضافية

You will need to provide your own instrument, and will need to purchase your own music or books when necessary. For young children (ages 0-7), I teach using the Suzuki method, which requires considerable parental involvement, attending lessons as well as involvement with the student throughout the week between lessons.

من أنا؟

If you are ready to take on music lessons, your life will never be the same. Music enriches our minds and lives in many ways, including expanding our expectations past what we think is possible for ourselves! I've taught hundreds of students over the past 15 years, and have loved helping my students learn to read and play, discover their own love of music, and conquer their fears of performing. I've been described by students as encouraging and fun, and my teaching style is warm, positive, and relaxed. I have worked with many students, including some with learning disabilities, physical limitations, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and just plain old stage fright! I work with you to set your own goals, and I look forward to helping you reach them... It's what I love about what I do.

I began my violin studies at age 9, with my humble public school string program. I continued through high school and into college, playing and singing with auditioned district ensembles, school musicals, and chamber choirs, coming in as runner-up in my high school's concerto competition and performing twice in Carnegie Hall. I studied opera, vocal pedagogy, and passed my piano proficiency exam from the advanced class.

In 2003, I earned my violin performance degree at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and soon after, joined the Kansas City-based Celtic folk group, Tullamore. I have enjoyed 13 seasons with this lauded regional group, playing countless esteemed Celtic festivals across the country and embarking on five international tours of Ireland and Scotland, as well as a Caribbean cruise hosted for our fans.

In 2014, I relocated to Hampton, Virginia, where I auditioned for the Hampton Roads Philharmonic, and currently play as a first violinist.

In 2015, I began playing with Brackish Water Jamboree, an award-winning Americana band, host of the annual Norfolk Festival in Norfolk, Virginia and featured on NPR's Out of the Box series with Paul Shugrue and the national American country and roots show The Blue Plate Special.

Throughout this time, I have enjoyed teaching a full and enriching music studio of students: hosting recitals, open mics, and ensemble rehearsals, and watching students achieve goals they didn't know were even possible. I continue to teach online via Skype, Facebook video chat, and Google Hangouts, and I look forward to working with you to accomplish your own musical aspirations!

المستوى التعليمي

The guitar is undoubtedly one of the most popular instruments of the modern age. It is so versatile and used in many genres ranging from classical music to Death Metal and even Electronic Music.

I will teach you the basics of playing the guitar, and I'll spice it up later with my experience in composition and songwriting. We will learn by example through the famous songs that shaped our understanding of the guitar. Whether you prefer singer-songwriter-style songs, or thrash metal we'll get there together.

I will teach mainly using the guitar tablature format, we can do sheet music which is generally unneeded for anything besides classical, but I will need to refresh my music sheet reading skills as I haven't had to read any in the last 10 years.

I offer structured, technique-driven online lessons for students who want more than just chord charts. Trained in both the classical and flamenco traditions.
My approach is methodical, but never rigid—I tailor each lesson plan to your goals, whether you are preparing for graded exams or simply want to understand the why behind the music.

What I Cover in Lessons:

1.⁠ ⁠Classical Guitar Fundamentals

· Posture & Hand Position: Achieving maximum efficiency with minimal tension. We look at sitting position, left-hand alignment, and right-hand resting stroke vs. free stroke.
· Tone Production: Nail shaping, attack angles, and how to draw a singing tone from the instrument.
· Sight-Reading & Theory: Learning to read standard notation confidently, not just tablature. We cover positions, key signatures, and how to interpret phrasing marks.
· Repertoire Building: From Sor, Carcassi, and Aguado to Granados, Albéniz, and Villa-Lobos. I help you build a polished, performance-ready repertoire.

2.⁠ ⁠Flamenco Technique & Style

· The Four Essential Strokes: Rasgueado (strumming variations), Picado (scale runs), Arpeggio, and Alzapúa (thumb technique).
· Compás (Rhythm): Understanding the rhythmic cycles of Soleá, Bulerías, Tangos, Fandangos and many more. You will learn to feel the beat, not just count it.
· Falsetas: Short, pre-composed solo phrases. We break them down phrase by phrase, then learn to link them together.
· Accompaniment: Introduction to accompanying flamenco cante (singing) and baile (dance) – chord progressions, capo placement, and staying locked in with the singer.

3.⁠ ⁠Music Theory Applied to the Fretboard

· Harmonic analysis of the music you are playing.
· The difference between major/minor and the Andalusian cadence (Phrygian mode).

4. Creative Exploration

· Once the fundamentals are solid, we explore arrangement. Learn to take a melody (folk song, film theme, or standard) and arrange it for solo guitar in flamenco style.

Who This Is For:

· Students preparing for formal music exams.
· Self-taught guitarists looking to fix technique gaps and learn to read music.
· Flamenco enthusiasts who want to move beyond "strumming" into authentic compás and falsetas.
· Classical players curious about adding flamenco colours to their playing.

I have several years of experience playing acoustic and classical guitar, and I have also helped beginners in my university guitar club. I enjoy helping new students feel comfortable with the instrument and make their first real progress without feeling overwhelmed.

My aim is to help students build confidence, develop good habits, and enjoy the process of learning guitar from the start.

A clear methodology that takes you from zero to professional in a gradual and well-thought-out manner.

Focus on practical application, not just memorization.
