Expert Guitar Instructor for All Ages and Skill Levels

Service Overview

Whether you are just starting out or have some experience, my experience shows that with a little daily practice, anyone can learn to play the guitar. My primary objective is to guide you to the stage where you are actively making music you love, rather than getting stuck in endless drills.

Credentials & Experience

• Over two decades of teaching experience at music schools in the U.S. and Europe, plus private instruction.
• Studied guitar at a European conservatory.
• Graduate of the Guitar Institute of Technology program at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood.
• Many years of performance experience on various instruments, both live and in the studio.

Teaching Philosophy & Approach

We will design a tailored plan based on your objectives. I aim to teach you how to independently push yourself, learn from errors, and continue your musical growth using your own ears and resources.

Areas we may cover include technique, reading music, theory, ear training, soloing and improvisation, and building a solid rhythmic foundation—largely through learning the songs you enjoy.

Services Offered

• Instruction for acoustic and electric guitar across a broad spectrum of styles: rock, pop, metal, blues, funk, soul, country, folk, and jazz.
• Exploration of basics in classical and Latin guitar.
• Practical guidance on selecting instruments and gear, guitar/amplifier maintenance and setup, and recording techniques.
• Lessons for all ages and skill levels, from children to adults, including beginners.
