About
Here is why You should hire Me!! I have been teaching Guitar for over 25 yrs in East Haven, Ct and I wouldn't change a thing!! I absolutely positively LOVE it!! But I will say this, alot of music teachers don't teach you how to be creative...why a chord is a chord and how to add notes to it...why a scale is a scale and how does that pertain to songwriting...How to literally jam over any progression. I will explain all the many paths of learning how to play the guitar, and you will pick the path that is right for you!! Playing is so much fun and learning it should be to!!! So what are you waiting for... I have The best job in the world!! Wouldn't you agree!!

Sandi is both an incredible musician and incredible person. As a guitar newbie, I was expecting to spend most of my first year to be spent slogging through lessons before I could finally know enough to really have fun with an instrument. Well, I’ve only been working with Sandi two months and to say I’ve had fun is an understatement. Her energy is infectious and I genuinely look forward to seeing her each week. Her lessons have the right amount of structure to measure your progress, but she tailors her instruction to meet you where you are that day. She also gives you skills to work on that build up your abilities beyond memorization, which is how I was trying to teach myself before seeking her out. Now, if my fingers are hurting from trying to practice new chords, I can move on to the picking exercises. If the picking exercises get boring, I can move on to tapping to better my rhythm - the list goes on. She truly loves music and does an amazing job sharing that love. Since working with her, I’m already experiencing music in a different way and I’m so excited to learn more. I remember reading her reviews before signing up and feeling hopeful. Now, I’m another review trying to capture just how much these lessons have affected me. If you’re looking for a guitar teacher and don’t know where to start, I promise you’ve found what you’re looking for with Sandi.

Sandi is a brilliant guitar instructor. She is extremely well-versed in music theory and breaks it down into comprehensible building blocks. This allows you to understand the “why” elements behind the theory and quickly make sense of the whole system. Once you begin to grasp all the constituent parts, music transforms into a game that’s exciting and open-ended. Sandi goes beyond explaining and demonstrating techniques and inspires true creativity. After just a month and a half of lessons, I’m past the whole “ah my wrist aches” and “this sounds like a dying cat” and am actually making music. I almost cannot believe Sandi is charging $40/hour for the value of instruction I’m receiving. It’s clear that for her, it’s not about the money, but about the love of teaching. I am grateful to myself for investing in my learning & seeing Sandi’s bright smile every week only drives that gratitude further!

I had my first lesson with Sandi last week, it was fabulous. Firstly, i have been messing around with the guitar for a couple of years (Im in my 40's) and noted that I lacked any discipline, I'm nowhere near where I should be and its all my own fault. My first lesson with Sandi was excellent, and within lesson 1 she had identified my key areas to focus on. I really like her style of teaching and I am so happy that I found her. I know that this is going to help me. Sandi also made sure I had the resources I need to ensure that I develop to my best.
