Guitar Lessons Pinellas County, FL

Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

As mentioned previously, my Philosophy is this: think like a learner so that learners are able to learn from someone who thinks like them. I like to start my lessons from the very beginning which is tuning the instrument, so that the instrument sounds good. To me music is about 10% technicality and 90% feeling. Because you can play through an entire piece without any emotion and it won't be enjoyable because it doesn't feel good. Read More

I'm guitarist who loves teaching and sharing my affinity for music. I graduated from Florida State University in 2016 with a BA in Music, emphasizing classical guitar. Originally starting as a rock player, my palette was expanded through learning classical guitar. Not only did I learn a new style, I learned new principles that made me an overall better player through the program. From there I performed with guitar and folk ensembles in a variety of locations in Tallahassee, FL. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Voice

With all students I work on becoming aware of the Voice as the unique instrument that it is. I will teach them to listen, creating excercises to develop their creativity as they explore their own Voice as a unique instrument and tool. Half an hour is dedicated to developement and vocalization, then we work on repertoire that we would choose together, including improvisation excercises in which I play and sing a tune and they sing it back as it is or with added melismas or notes as they hear it.

Instruments: Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I used to play in local bands but no longer have the time. Teaching students gives me the opportunity to be more engaged with music and to play more often. If you are willing to practice and follow the finger exercises as shown regularly, you will be playing solo in a matter of weeks. If you cannot devote a minimum of 3 hours/week to practice, it will take more time. Read More

When not out playing or in the studio I teach guitar and do guitar clinics for JB Player Guitars. Right now I am working in the studio when I have the time making a debut solo CD, a slow work in progress called Electrica Acoustica Exotica. Read More
