Teaching Philosophy
I also offer a classical guitar for beginner and intermediate students. For this style of lessons, we would start by working through books one and two of Aaron Shearer’s Classic Guitar Technique. After those, we would move on to appropriate level pieces by Fernando Sor, Bach, Mauro Giuliani, and others. Along the way, I would supplement the lessons with exercises to help with specific difficulties the student is facing. I would also work on building a knowledge of basic theory and scales. Things covered in this type of curriculum are: Proper technique and positioning of the right and left hand for classical guitar Developing the ability to read music Scales and theory Learning a repertoire of easy to intermediate classical guitar pieces

Special Skills and Trainings
If you’re an adult beginner, I understand that you might feel a little self conscious about delving into something new. Rest assured that I’ve taught many adult beginners, ranging in age up into their 80’s. There’s no reason to feel funny about beginning to learn an instrument as an adult. I’ve seen plenty of people do it, enjoy it, and be successful with it.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
