Guitar, bass, and ukulele lessons

Learn from an experienced player and teacher.

I teach beginners, experienced players, kids, teens, and adults. Lessons are built around the student, the instrument, and what makes sense for where they are right now.

What I teach

Start from the beginning or pick up where you left off.

Guitar

Acoustic and electric guitar in most styles, from the basics through more advanced playing.

Bass

Learn how to hold down a groove, understand your role in a band, and become a stronger all-around player.

Ukulele

A great first instrument, and a fun one to keep playing. Lessons are available for both kids and adults.

What lessons are like

Good teaching should make music feel clearer, not more complicated.

Some students are starting from scratch. Others have played for years and want help getting to the next place. I meet you where you are and teach the things that will be useful to you.

Let me know the instrument, the student's age, and whether they are brand new or have played before. That is enough to get the conversation started.
