About
Hi! I have been playing guitar for over 11 years and teaching music privately for three. I received my Bachelor’s of Music in Music Education from San Diego State University in 2022, emphasizing in Classical Guitar. I first started taking private lessons myself in elementary school, for piano and voice. Music has always been a part of my life and education, from taking choir to general music courses. I can teach beginner and intermediate levels for guitar, piano, ukulele, and bass. Every lesson is tailored to the individual student’s goals and style. However, I like to make sure each student learns all the fundamentals and receives a strong foundation that can be applied to any style or genre they want to learn.This can include rhythm exercises, scales, basic music theory, and more. For example I strongly emphasize the importance of rhythm and making sure students can play in time. I have experience playing and teaching classical, pop, rock, and folk. I look forward to hearing from you and starting our first lesson! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I’ve been taking guitar lessons with Summer for the past 8 months, and it’s been an awesome experience! In that time, I’ve learned so many chords and riffs, and I can now play through some of my favorite songs. Summer is patient, accommodating, and an excellent communicator. She always makes each lesson fun and engaging. She’s a rockstar! Highly recommend

My 12 year old daughter has been taking guitar lessons with Summer for a few months and she loves it! She looks forward to her lesson every week. Summer is great at explaining concepts and has a lot of patience.

I’ve been taking ukulele classes with Summer for just over a year. In that time, I’ve learned numerous chords and songs, as well as learning to read sheet music for the ukulele. The lessons are always enjoyable, and she adjusts the content to fit my goals. I highly recommend Summer as a very effective and patient teacher!
