About

1. Learn Songs You Want to Play!
2. Set Goals Your Personal Skill Level!
3. Make Learning Music Fun!

*Discounts available if you buy extra lessons
Though individual lessons offer a great opportunity for growth and learning, especially for students that are beginners, I also prioritize Jam Bands and Group Lessons because research shows that learning music in a group setting is very beneficial. Group Lessons are an ongoing opportunity to learn songs and theory with other students. In these settings, students learn the value and skill of playing with other musicians and have lots of fun doing it.
I am also a LIVE MUSIC PERFORMER and often have my students play with me at local restaurants and coffee shops if they would like to.
I truly enjoy teaching. Teaching music is so so much FUN! And it should be fun for the students to learn. Between lessons, students can view my YOUTUBE CHANNEL for music tutorials.
I would love to start lessons with you soon!!!

Kevin has been a great instructor for my son. He is very relatable to kids and makes guitar fun. He is very organized, tracks progress and gives a quick status update at the end of each lesson. And it's so convenient to have him come to our home! Everyone wins!

I am so glad that I started taking lessons with Kevin. I really enjoy his teaching style, and how he helps you learn songs that you want to learn and already enjoy listening to. He provides reasonable and attainable goals after each lesson, which has helped me with practicing between each lesson. I would highly recommend him for anyone that is interested in learning guitar.

Kevin was very knowledgeable and really my pretty shy daughter feel very comfortable. He made learning fun for her and she was excited to go home and practice. He helped her to learn the cords and where to look up fun songs using her smart phone and the internet. I would highly recommend Strum2thebeat to anyone wanting to learn guitar.

Kevin is awesome and teaches me things that I want to learn. I've had teachers in the past that teach what they want you to learn, but if it's not something you're interested in, it's hard to be motivated. With Kevin, I want to practice because the material is songs I want to play. He is patient and willing to work with my schedule. My playing has gotten significantly better in just 3 weeks of lessons. I highly recommend Kevin.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
LEARNING GUITAR OR DRUMS IS FUN! After seeing a student's personal skill level, we find songs that will work for them. Students will learn songs they enjoy tailored to play at their current skill level.
I always encourage questions. I am available to help with student questions about practice throughout the week.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a degree in Elementary Education and am a certified teacher here in Colorado. I’ve been playing guitar for over 20 years and drums for over 25 years. I led worship at my church for over 5 years and have been a part of several different worship teams and bands. In addition to teaching guitar and drum lessons, I play several gigs a month at various venues in Denver.
