Introduction: I offer guitar lessons for all ages and levels. Learn rock, blues, jazz, classical, country and more. I offer patient and expert instruction at reasonable prices. I have a master's degree in music and over 30 years of experience. I am a certified New York state music teacher. I currently have 30 students whom I teach privately or at Farmingdale Music Center.
I can teach traditional guitar with music reading skills, or we can utilize tab and chord diagrams. Songs are chosen for practice based on student preferences from ACDC to Taylor Swift, Bach, Jobim and of course, classic rock like Clapton and Beatles. Learn finger style if you wish, or we will use a guitar pick.
Several method books are available such as Alfred's, Mel Bay, Hal Leonard or kid's rock book as well as specialized books for bar chords, finger style, jazz and rock soloing. My students tend to stay with me for the long term, and many are performing regularly. I would love to work with you as your guitar teacher, so give me a call to discuss further.
