Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: When you think of playing the guitar, the words that should come to mind are: Fun, creative, artistic, carefree, cathartic, self expression, etc. What should NOT come to mind are words like: Boring, chore, homework, tedious, frustrating, etc. Yet sadly the latter is what a lot of people experience when it comes to private guitar lessons. Now don't get me wrong: Scales and finger exercises have their place. But that's not WHY you decided you want to learn to play the guitar! You heard a song on the radio and said to yourself "Man! I wish I could play that!". Or you saw one of your favorite bands perform and thought "That looks like a lot of fun! I wish I could do that!". THAT is what the average person ultimately wants from the guitar: To play and sing their favorite songs for themselves. With that knowledge in mind, my goal for each and every student is to get them playing an actual song that they know and love within the first two lessons. That's what's going to make the learning process enjoyable, and therefore successful!

I was nervous starting lessons as an adult but she was amazingly professional and understanding. She worked with me at my own pace and made me feel comfortable playing. She knows the guitar and started from the very basics because that’s what I needed. Quality lesson for an unbelievable price. Looking forward to the next lesson.

My daughter, age 11, has been taking lessons from Rachel for about 4 months. We have seen a huge improvement in her skills. She really likes how the lessons are fun and that she gets to pick some of the songs she learns to play. As a mom, I really appreciate Rachel's flexibility with my schedule. I would recommend her to anyone interested in learning guitar.

Rachel is an awesome teacher. Her lessons were fun, simple and taught me so much without having to do all the boring scales and what not. I highly reccomend Melody Makers. Its why I was able to join a band and its made one of my favorite hobbies that much better.

My daughter takes guitar lessons once a week from Rachel. Rachel offers a great atmosphere for enjoying music and learning to play the guitar. She makes it fun and uses alot of songs that are current. My daughter practices at home all the time and she talks about how much she loves taking lessons from Rachel! What more can a mom ask for? I highly recommend.
