Process-focussed lessons on twangy things with frets
Want to get started on that song you’ve always wanted to learn how to play - the one with the ‘weird chord’ and the note that’s too high to sing? Come over. We’ll work it out. Seriously. I’ve got 25 years of playing and teaching I bring to the (literal) table in my studio, along with a degree in music education and a love for working with everyone from complete beginners to working performers. Sessions offered on acoustic guitar, dobro, banjo, mandolin, bass guitar, vocals and songwriting. We’ll learn by working towards clear musical goals, like that pesky high note, without postponing joy. Drop me a line and let's get started!
New students who sign up for two or more lessons get their first lesson free this January & February. Spread the word!
