I am a Portland-based guitar instructor with over twenty years of teaching experience. I provide private guitar lessons to students throughout Portland and private online instruction to students everywhere. 

 

My eclectic range of playing experience combined with decades of teaching puts me in a unique position to very accurately assess your musical goals and create the perfect guitar lesson curriculum to meet your own individual needs. 

​

There is no one size fits all for creative pursuits. 


I fully believe that lessons can be structured and goal oriented while remaining fun and fully connected to that spark of inspiration that made you want to pick up your guitar in the first place. In fact, they should be.
