Guitar lessons for beginners to advanced students of all ages

I love teaching guitar, and I am good at it. Learning music is similar to learning a language. We learn by imitating the sounds that we hear. During this stage, I also incorporate proper technique; how the instrument should be held and how the strings should be strummed or plucked. Once the sound is adequately imitated, we look at influences and start developing vocabulary. Finally, I want to ensure the student can replicate these precise sounds. I do this by teaching the theory and reasoning behind the vocabulary.

Music and guitar is my passion. I love to share my passion with anyone wanting to learn. Thank you, hope to hear from you soon.

About Me

I am a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Before moving to the Netherlands in 2022, I taught 50 different students a week on a variety of instruments; guitar, piano, drums, ukulele, bass, and voice. In 2017, I received my bachelors in music from a conservatory called Webster University in the United States. During my studies I focused on jazz guitar and songwriting/composition. Before pursuing my bachelors, I studied vocal performance in Los Angeles at Musicians Institute. I started playing guitar 20 years ago and did not have any lessons until college in 2015. The method that I use to teach is the method that I intuitively used to teach myself throughout the years. Listening and imitating is SO important when learning an instrument. This is how I taught myself, and it is how I will teach you. Music is my north star. It's occupy so much of my being and has for the majority of my life. I love sharing my knowledge with students that are truly interested in music and guitar. I hope my enthusiasm is contagious and inspires you. The journey with the instrument is a lifelong endeavor. One that I am happy to accompany you along the way.

Cheers :)
