Introduction: To thrive on an instrument, we must first cultivate the love of playing. There is no system of practice that can help a student who fundamentally doesn’t connect with making music. We build on the simple joy of playing the guitar, at whatever level a student begins lessons. I am always searching for what makes a student’s eyes light up, what makes them smile with pride. When they feel a sense of agency and accomplishment, they will strive to improve their technique, their ear, and their knowledge. My job is to guide them on that journey, to watch, adjust, and correct at times, but mostly to kindle the basic inspiration to make music and to get a little bit better each day.

Very happy with Evan as a guitar instructor. I'm an adult student, new to guitar. Evan is very responsive to what I'm interested in learning and offers both in person and virtual lessons, which is helpful for busy schedules. In addition to the lessons he also provides access to resources he has developed (charts, videos, etc) that can be used when practicing.

Details: 45 - 64 years old • No formal training; some self-taught experience • Yes, can read music staff • Acoustic • Classical • Yes, the student has an instrument • 60 minutes • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

I really enjoyed working with Evan. His guitar skills, especially in open position, are excellent. I enjoyed learning about his background in folk and bluegrass, and was pleasantly surprised to see just how broad his musical knowledge stretches. He is very supportive and kind, and he has a knack for finding areas of growth. Thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with him.

I absolutely love working with Evan. As someone who has had previous experience playing the guitar, but was hoping to get back into it and advance my skill, I have benefited greatly from taking lessons with Evan. He does an excellent job of tailoring the content of the lesson to your specific needs and goals as a guitar player. Highly recommend!!
