About
Whether you are 5 or 85 years old, every human progresses at their own pace and responds to different methods of learning (and play!). Regardless of age or "talent", playing an instrument is a skill and a knowledge that can be improved; however, you must commit to the practice every single day if you want to see short-term results and achieve your goals.
Music makes major contributions in areas of attention, memory, creativity, language, social-emotional learning, communication, and executive function. I like to start with basic left/right hand coordination, rhythm, and music that is familiar to you.
I am a graduate of the BA Music program at San Francisco State University where I was fortunate to have learned from so many great teachers that fundamentally changed the way I think about, hear, and interact with the world of music.
My fulfillment comes from unlocking the joy and musical connection that may otherwise have gone undiscovered. Thank you for this gift you are giving yourself or your child.

Cameron came to where I was and brought a variety of his guitars to see which one best fit me. He also came to the music store to help me pick out a guitar. All that and he comes to you to teach the lessons. He is very laid back and patient and goes at your pace. Willing to fit a lesson into your schedule.

Cameron has been teaching guitar to my 12-year old son for a few weeks now and so far it's been going great. He's been responsive and accommodating from the get go and has positive attitude and great chemistry with my son.

Cameron did a wonderful job playing for a work event. He read the tone of the crowd and changed up the music to be appropriate. He played beautifully and we received a lot of great feedback from our guests who were very impressed by him. We will definitely use him again for more events. Thank you Cameron!

Cameron brought great music and ambiance to our party! He is a fantastic musician and easy going. He did an impromptu jam session with one of our guests who had brought his guitar and banjo. If you want to have some live music at your party, do not look further! He also sings if you want to or makes wonderful background music. Bigger party, no problem either. Leave it to Cameron!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My sessions last between 1-2 hours. I've found 30-45mins once a week just isn't enough time to work through concepts and material.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Get a feel for how you're inspired, your personality, and what you'd like to be able to play! There are so many routes to take with the guitar, it's helpful to narrow it down. If you have no idea, there's plenty of things I can show you and we see what you're most interested in.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been fortunate to study with many great teachers through the university level at SFSU, and play with a diverse range of musicians in many different styles. I want you to have a similar understanding of general music and the guitar in order to create what you'd like with confidence and success.
