Have you or a family member always wanted to play guitar? Since 2015 I have offered 1-2-1 lessons for children, adults and seniors out of my home studio. My teaching style is flexible. If you want formal, I can teach you how to read music and play guitar. If you just want to learn the chords and riffs of your favorite songs, we can go in that direction. • I book lessons in 30-45 minute increments just in student run late. • My cancellation policy is flexible. I re-schedule makeup classes ASAP. • As a professional event musician, I share my 300+ song library with my students. I also locate sheet music for my students' favorite songs. Testimonials are available upon request.See more

Caleb S. says, "I have been playing guitar lightly on and off for 30 years. I have been around guitar enough to somewhat discern talent and skill. When I decided I wanted to start over and learn classical guitar from a professional teacher I went hunting for a great teacher. Before starting lessons with Peter I met with a couple other guitar teachers and gauged them against others I have known. I chose Peter because I found him to be everything I was looking for. Peter is smart. He is both a highly skilled player and a talented teacher. He is dedicated to teaching guitar vs teachers who don’t primarily play guitar or teachers who don’t have any training in guitar pedagogy. Peter is a great communicator in general, which has helped us navigate my complicated schedule and tailor my instruction to my needs and interests. Peter seems to be flexible and realistic with the curriculum he devised for me and the goals we set. Peter has a great personality for teaching. In the journey of developing guitar skill, I think he is a great guide. He knows the art, he knows how to teach it, he knows how to do hard things, how to overcome challenges, and he has a deep trove of experiences to draw from in lessons. My lessons with him have been fun, helpful, and well structured. For the kind of guitar playing I am interested in, my search is over, Peter is a great teacher."See more

Jesse P. says, "Gaurav is the man for the guitar!! I’ve been working with him for over a year and I’m already delivering face-melting solos (well I’m working on it). Working with Gaurav is a ton of fun and he breaks things down so that your playing becomes easier and engaging, not tedious. This is key for anyone just starting out or for a seasoned amateur like myself. I can’t speak for pros but Gaurav certainly is one. If you want to shred on a metal solo or play Nashville-style, Gaurav can show you how. Best teacher I’ve ever had, hands down!!"See more

Gurleen K. says, "Scotty is singlehandedly the best guitar teacher I have ever hired, and this statement comes from someone who has been taking guitar lessons since 2011. What sets Scotty apart is his remarkable ability to listen attentively while simultaneously pushing me to surpass my limited knowledge of the guitar. Instead of relying on rote memorization, he instills in me a deep understanding of the instrument. One of the things I appreciate most about Scotty is his knack for tailoring our lessons to suit my individual needs and aspirations. This personal touch truly sets apart Scotty's teaching style and ensures a unique experience for each student. Furthermore, Scotty is incredibly accommodating when it comes to scheduling. He understands that life can be unpredictable, and if I ever need to cancel a lesson, within the 24-window notice, he is understanding and flexible. Additionally, he goes the extra mile by sending me detailed notes after each session, allowing me to practice effectively and make progress between lessons. Scotty's supportive nature creates an environment where I feel comfortable enough to sing and explore my creative side. Above all, Scotty's genuine passion for the guitar shines through in every interaction. I consider myself incredibly fortunate and honored to be his student. Thank you, Scotty, for your dedication and expertise. I eagerly look forward to our upcoming lesson on Wednesday!"See more

Emily C. says, "Doc Doolittle/Ian watched my sixth month old kitten named Bat for me while I was out of town recently and I couldn't have been happier with my experience. I was so nervous about leaving Bat for the first time, but Ian assured me that I had nothing to worry about. He sent me updates and pictures constantly while I was away which was very comforting, and he was consistently professional, trustworthy, and reassuring. He is wonderful with animals and immediately got along well with my kitten. I felt safe leaving her with him and would entrust her into his care again in a heartbeat. In fact, I am visiting family out of state over the holidays and requested that he watch over her again! Look to Ian for your pet-sitting needs, you won't regret it. :)"See more
