"Learning the fundamentals of playing guitar and developing the ability to read standard notation will benefit children tremendously whether they are interested in bluegrass, traditional, country, blues, jazz, rock, classical or any other style of music. My students will gain a strong background in essential areas and have fun!

I have been playing guitar since 2006 and mandolin since 1996, studying with a master musician. I use the Mel Bay Modern Guitar Method along with chord/strumming practice, emphasis on correct right and left hand technique, and exercises/songs tailored to the student's interests and abilities.

Just send a message to schedule a lesson. Currently, I am offering lessons at the student's home, at my apartment in East Greenbush, NY, or online. Due to Covid-19 safety concerns, for in person lessons I am happy to wear a mask and sit at a distance." less...
