Private Music Lessons - Plucked Strings and Music Theory
Hello, I've been teaching music lessons in Southern California since 2008. Trained primarily as a classical guitarist, I also have extensive experience performing and teaching a wide variety of musical styles, including rock, jazz, and blues. Not only will I teach you how to play, but I will also help you to understand the language of music and how your instrument can speak it. So if you are looking for an encouraging, patient teacher to help you learn a plucked string instrument such as guitar, bass, banjo, ukulele, or mandolin, I'd love to work with you!
Over the years, I've taught a multitude of students of plucked strings and music theory; given countless performances as a soloist and with a number of diverse groups as a guitarist, vocalist, keyboardist, and banjoist; and been an active songwriter, composer, and arranger. Several of my works for guitar have been published, and I also wrote the first-ever method book on playing classical music on the 5-string banjo. I have my BA in Music from Cal Poly Pomona, my MM from CSU Los Angeles, and my DMA from Claremont Graduate University. I'm looking forward to working with you to achieve your goals!

The lessons can be at my place in Maastricht, at yours or via Zoom.

Learn the guitar in a different and intuitive way
This course is above all there to make you want to play the guitar, let it be a pleasure! It will be based on the practice of the instrument, on the understanding and role of the guitar. The theory will be based on the progress of the practice. Step by step, practice and theory will thus be complementary, and will necessarily be useful!
Have you always dreamed of being able to play the guitar? it's time to get started!

We can look for songs and music styles and adapt them to your level and wishes. Playing music you like makes learning easier and a lot more fun.
I give acoustic guitar and piano lessons. Guitar lessons are also possible on a twelve-string guitar. I also give oboe lessons. Since 4 years I teach with a lot of pleasure in a homely atmosphere, namely in my own living room! I also have experience in teaching people with disabilities.
Please send me a message so that we can discuss the options. I am looking forward to our first lesson!
