I'm a patient, energetic, understanding, highly-motivated teacher who loves training people to accomplish their musical goals. I teach from the experience of a songwriter and performer, someone who started off as an ear-based, self-taught guitarist and has worked his way up to to a BA in Composition, recorded and released music for three Seattle rock bands, and performs regularly.

As a result, I formulate individual lesson plans tailored specifically to each student to help them reach their goals. Read More

I want to make guitar lessons fun, helpful and informative. If the student isn't learning what they want to learn and not having fun while doing it, I'm not doing my job.

I will tailor my instruction to fit what the student wants to learn, and have done that in all the lessons I have taught. Read More
