I’ve been playing guitar for about 10 years and have been working at the Old Town School since 2011. Through my experience at the Old Town School, I’ve found that learning in a group setting or one on one has a much more profound impact on one’s development as a musician, as opposed to learning on your own by using online lessons and tutorials. The experience is much more collaborative, allowing for more exploration, exchanging of ideas and creativity.

I teach all levels of group guitar classes for adults and teens. We learn by using songs from the Old Town School song book, as well as bringing in music from all types of eras and genres. I’m most experienced in fingerstyle guitar, folk, songwriting, blues, and rock. I’ll bring you the right new skills and techniques you need to become a great player, tighten your playing, but most of all, to fall in love with playing guitar!
