Guitar Lessons

Hi, I've been playing guitar for almost 25 years, and have studied jazz, classical, bluegrass, blues and most rock styles. I have gotten a few good reviews from some local and national magazines over the years that you can check out below in the Reviews section. I taught private lessons at Kurlan Music in Worcester for about 7 years as well as Mars Music in Natick, Waldorf High School and am currently teaching a jazz guitar class at the Cambridge Center for Adult Education.

****Check out the MP3 page to hear me play some different styles.****

Currently I'm available for teaching private lessons in my Boston studio or I can travel to you (schedule permitting), if your location is T accessible. All levels and styles!

Lessons cost $50 per hour or $25 per 1/2 hour. **GIFT CERTIFICATES AVAILABLE**

Or pay in advance $160 for 4 1 Hour lessons or $80 for 4 1/2 hr lessons.

Beginners welcome! Over 50% of the over 1000 students I've taught have been total beginners. Many have gone on to become great players .
