Introduction
I offer private 1 on 1 instruction for all levels and stylistic expressions of the guitar. I also offer beginning to intermediate instruction in electric bass,piano and ukulele. Lessons are also available for general music theory, music composition, electronic music and recording. To me, music is a necessary practice in building and empowering community and individual expression. I have had more than 15 years experience being an music teacher. I cater my lessons to a student's individual learning style and music interests. As a professional musician, I have played with many luminary Bay Area artists and organizations such as Grammy winner Fantastic Negrito, the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra and the San Francisco Philharmonic Orchestra. Lessons are for ages 8 and above. Please feel free to communicate to me any special needs and interest before the first lesson. I look forward to helping you on your journey!

My 14yr old son wanted to take up guitar lessons but wanted the “in person” experience which is how we met Josh. My son has learned so much in the short time he’s worked with Josh. Josh is kind and works well with young people. He’s reliable and easy to work with. He’s amazing! If you are looking for that “in person” experience-he’s your guy!

Details: 14 - 17 years old • No formal training • Jazz • Yes, the student has an instrument • 45 minutes • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Josh is awesome! In only 3 sessions, I have learned more about the guitar than in 25 years of playing guitar. I instead of humming sounds and trying to match it on guitar, I'm learning how chords and scales sync. Josh is patient and has a great personality. He has never rushed me or shown any signs of frustration. I recommend him for anyone from beginner to expert level. Schedule a lesson with Josh NOW!

Been taking lesson with Josh and it’s been awesome. I’ve made great progress in a short amount of time. He’s a great teacher, caters to your music taste, and gives great material to take home and practice that isn’t too overwhelming. Highly recommend.
