I teach rock, blues, metal, country and classical guitar lessons on electric and acoustic guitars. Beginner students can expect to work on chords, simple songs and melodies, sight reading, and theory. I balance musicianship and fun by making sure that each lesson you are challenged with a new technical or theory concept, but always end with something fun such as your favorite riff or song. I use a variety of guitar method books to accomplish this and encourage students to bring CDs or their iPod to their lesson to learn their favorite tunes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT WILL I LEARN IN GUITAR LESSONS?
I understand that every student is an individual, with personal musical needs and goals. I make it a priority to tailor how we teach and what we teach to your individual needs.
When you enroll here for guitar lessons, your teacher will ask you about your favorite type of music, and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child. Together, you will develop a plan to achieve your goals! We love beginners, so even if you don't know where to begin, we can help!
WHAT STYLES OF MUSIC CAN I LEARN?
I teach all styles from rock, pop, jazz, country, worship, blues and classical. We combine the important fundamentals with the music YOU want to play.
ARE YOUR GUITAR INSTRUCTORS QUALIFIED?
Yes - I am highly qualified, but most importantly I have a passion for teaching. I have performed in all the major venues in Santa Fe: the Lensic Theater, Santa Fe Opera, James A. Little Theater, GiG Performance Space, Saint Francis Auditorium, and more.on faculty at New Mexico Highlands University and United World College. I am an artist-in-residence at Adams State University
My students have won prizes at the Columbus State University Guitar Competition, Souza Lima Competition, Mishler Scholarship, Tucson Jazz Society Award, Santa Fe ProMusica Young Concert Artist, Colorado All State Jazz Band, New Mexico All State Guitar Ensemble, New Mexico All State Jazz Band, and Shaefer Guitar Competition. They also have been awarded scholarships at the Berklee College of Music, Oberlin Conservatory, Volterra Project in Italy, University of Northern Colorado, North Carolina School for the Arts, University of Arizona, Killington Music Festival, University of New Mexico, Santa Fe University of Art and Design, and New Mexico Highlands University.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO LEARN TO PLAY GUITAR?
There is no set answer of how long it takes to learn to play guitar. With regular practice, a basic level of playing can be accomplished in a few months. Most of our students take lessons on a long term basis because they want to be constantly improving and they find the lessons enjoyable.
I DON’T HAVE ANY MUSICAL BACKGROUND OR ABILITY. CAN I STILL HELP MY CHILD PRACTICE?
Yes. Even if you don't have a musical background you can ask the teacher for advice on how to help your child practice. By simply monitoring that they are doing exercises a certain number of times per day the student will progress. Parents will occasionally sit in on their child's music lesson to get an idea of the proper way a song should sound or how the student should be positioning their hands.
