No two students are exactly alike. Studies have proven that we all interpret colors differently, and it is the same for music and how we learn it. Though there are standard commercial methods that will help keep lessons focused, the goal is to find the best and most creative ways to use that information which will help build our understanding of music on a very personal level and not just teaching with a "learn this etude and come back next week" mentality.

I adjust my teaching based on the particular student. For adults I take the lessons in whatever direction they like. Subjects covered are more often than not dictated by the student's interest. For children I do take their interests into account but also guide them towards getting better at their instrument. Reading music is an important thing for all my students. Read More

A certificated and trained educator, I infuse my guitar lessons with pedagogical elements to effectively help the learner achieve success. My passion for music runs deep, and it is my mission to help my students develop a similar passion for it. I teach to the students' interests, likes, and passion, continually providing encouragement in a calm and nurturing manner, and consistently acknowledge and celebrate each successful outcome and/or milestone.

I've played music for over half my life now, and guitar has shaped my life for the better in ways I've never thought possible. Throughout that time, I've taught lessons on and off for the past 7 years. I have always enjoyed teaching, and passing on my knowledge and hopefully my passion for playing the guitar and songwriting has always been a wonderful experience. One of my favorite things about teaching is that when I dissect every element of my playing to be able to teach it to someone else, by the time I've shown someone else a new technique, I've found that my own playing improves.

Growing up in Switzerland, I discovered my passion for music. After moving to Boston for music school, I graduated magna cum laude from Berklee College of Music, equipping me with a profound understanding of the music industry and an in depth understanding of music theory. I then decided Boston was not the city for me and moved to Chicago in 2016 playing for a number of bands and teaching private lessons. Read More

I am very passionate at what I do and I will guide you through the proper steps in becoming a great guitar player. Playing music takes a lot of time and patience as well as a lot of practice playing by yourself and in front of people. I am very relaxed and motivated to help my students learn and I will guide you through everything. I would prefer that students bring their own guitars so that you would be more comfortable playing your own instrument, if you can't or do not have one, I have guitars here that you may use but during our sessions only.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Don't view practice as a chore that simply needs to be done, a box that needs to be ticked, or a time that needs to be filled. The act of practicing itself won't make you any better. Rather, view practice as an opportunity to increase your skills, as a chance to focus on what you have trouble with, and as your skills grow and your troubles shrink, your ability will naturally improve. Better quality practice, even if done less often, will yield better results than simply "grinding" an hour a day on something you're not actually enjoying.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This could be different for every child, especially depending on the instrument. For some instruments, a child might not physically big enough to effectively play the instrument they want to. In most cases, there are smaller alternatives that they could start on, and move those skills over to their instrument of choice when they are the correct size. For example, many skills on ukulele will transfer over to guitar, but ukuleles are much easier for small bodies to handle.
Aside from size, the student needs to have the ability to listen, focus, and follow directions, and an understanding of the concept of practicing over time to improve skill. Musical ability is not something that can be mastered in a single afternoon. And in fact, it is a process that is never truly over - one can always get better. So they need to understand that they are starting a process, not acquiring a new thing. Some children can understand this quite young, and some people still struggle with this as adults.
When will I start to see results?
That depends on what you consider a "result." A tuba student might take months just to properly play a single note, and a piano student might be able to play a simple tune in the first day. Every student is different, every instrument has its own set of challenges, and every parent has a different expectation. I have had several students who all start at the same time but progress at very different rates, due in part to the student's level of motivation, their own personal goals on the instrument, and their natural ability or sense of rhythm. Some students take to it quite naturally and so can very quickly appear proficient, even if they don't put in that much effort. Others can try and try but not quite "feel" the timing for the rhythm correctly, and that takes longer to develop if it doesn't come naturally.
