Guitar Lessons for Beginning and Intermediate Students
I am an experienced, patient, and thoughtful instructor with more than twenty years experience.
My lessons train not only the fingers - I engage the ears and the brain.
My students learn technique, to read music, and to understand theory.
My goal is to give my students the skills they need to express themselves.
Whether or not my students become professional musicians or simply lifelong fans of music,
they will benefit from lessons with me.
Music lessons have benefits outside of the musical realm - cultivating listening skills, manual dexterity,
an intuitive understanding of applied math and physics, and generally opening cognitive pathways in
the human mind that no other endeavors can claim to do.
The best part about all of these benefits is that it is FUN to play music.

Acoustic Guitarist For Hire
I have more than 20 years of stage experience as a guitarist, playing folk, acoustic/singer-songwriter, and rock styles. I read music (notes and/or
chord charts), have
pro gear and transportation, can sing lead and harmony vocals, and
double on keyboards.
I'm organized and I do my homework. I expect the same from the projects
on which I work. I just need charts and/or reference CDs, and
information about the date, time, location, and pay for the gig or
session. I'll show up to the rehearsal/gig, knowing the tunes and ready
to play/sing.
