Our mission is to provide a fun and encouraging learning environment where you or your child can develop a lifelong passion for music.

Our Approach to Teaching
My teaching philosophy is built on the principles of setting achievable goals, encouraging students to take an active role in their learning, and fostering a love for music that transcends mere technical proficiency. I have a passion for folk, rock, and blues music, and I believe that these genres provide the perfect foundation for developing fundamental guitar skills. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to improve your technique, I will work with you to create a personalized lesson plan that suits your needs and interests.
