Bio I minored in Classical guitar the University of Utah and performed in classical guitar ensembles at the Dumke Recital Hall throughout college. I fell in love with guitar at 11 and have been hooked ever since.

Practice doesn’t make perfect. It makes permanent. I teach students how to practice effectively so that they build good habits that will make it easy for them to learn any song they would like in the future.

Age Requirement 8+
Exceptions can be made for 6 & 7 year olds if they want to take lessons and they follow lesson rules: Be gentle with the instruments & equipment and follow directions.

Beginning
I give students a strong foundation which will serve them well in any genre of guitar music.

• How to read sheet music, tab & chord scale charts
• Technique: Fretting, hand and sitting position & strumming
• Musicality: Timbre, volume control, speed
• Rhythm: Counting & how to use a metronome

Intermediate & Advanced
Once students have mastered the basics we start diving into the genre/s and techniques unique to the style of guitar the student is interested in.

• Repertoire – in student’s chosen genre/s
• Advanced techniques, musicality & rhythms
• Practical Music Theory
