Introduction

I offer weekly sixty minute lessons for $80. My extensive musical experience including being a former Berklee College of Music Instructor and having my Masters degree from New England Conservatory and my Bachelor's from Berklee offer me the opportunity to convey my ideas with clarity and provide my students with correct information and technique. That I've been playing for 45 years yields me a very broad perspective and insight as a musician. I've played and written Blues, Pop, Jazz, Classical, Experimental and many other forms and styles of music. I share this with my students. I offer my students the opportunity to perform every two years in a student recital. I write/arrange many of the pieces myself. The confidence and enjoyment a student experiences in live performance is priceless. I'm able to do my passion: music and help people along the way!

Q&A

What types of customers have you worked with?

unfold fold
Teaching guitar students fundamentals/basics: learning how to read, thus students really learn the neck and instrument well. Teaching them the finest technique. Helping students to learn tunes they love to play. I also teach students to play by ear.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

unfold fold
Make certain the instructor your choosing has had a solid formal musical education, preferably at least a bachelor's degree. That they perform on the minimum of a semi-regular basis (this keeps them on their toes as a musician). Also, that the instructor will teach you to read in standard music notation and not just tablature. It takes longer to learn this way but the benefits and level of understanding are far superior! Finally, you want to be certain that the teacher is articulate and has patience.
