Introduction: I match my style to what my students need. I can be laid back and easy going when students want a space for fun and casually developing their skills, but I can also challenge and push students to practice and reach their most advanced goals. I enjoy getting to know my students and their families on a personal level to make lessons fun and to connect who they are with their self expression through music. I am as interested to teach them about my musical interests and knowledge as I am to learn about theirs. I love seeing students feel motivated to practice their instrument because they want to improve. All the motivation and time I put in to see that inner drive kick in is well worth it. I get excited when I see students light up in pride when they play and when they show how eager they are to learn more - another song, another style, another way to express themselves.

    Guitar Lessons

    Cant speak highly enough about Adam. I felt he went above and beyond for a guitar teacher. He challenged me to perform at an open mic fairly early (I couldnt play a full song before starting lessons) and took his own time to come support me. He teaches piano too and has a great understanding of music theory. This was big for me as music theory is fascinating to me. Our lessons were very relaxed and always left me excited to get home and practice more. My interest in guitar is fairly schizophrenic and I like to change focus all the time to cover as much ground in our precious weekly hour. Adam did a great job working with my idiosyncrasies and taught me a great amount in the few months we had lessons. (I moved out of town)

    Thanks Max! It was a pleasure teaching you. I'm excited to see how much more you continue to grow as a guitar player and songwriter. Let me know if you ever move back to the area.

    Adam is very professional and personable. He has only the best intent for his clients. I called Adam for guitar lessons and he worked around my schedule and was very flexible. He also went out of his way to pass on information for events etc. that would help me to appreciate music. Thanks Adam, for all your help and friendship :-)

    Thanks, Dan. Your lighthearted and laid back personality made it a joy to teach you. Thank you for inviting me to play at your wedding. I will always cherish that experience.

    Guitar Lessons

    Adam K. Is an excellent teacher. Adam takes the time to evaluate new students, find out what their goals are and then customizes a lesson plan. Adam's lesson allows the student to learn music theory and new songs. I appreciate Adam's patience and his positive learning environment. Thanks Adam!

    Piano Lessons

    Adam helped me form a good foundation on which to build off off over the course of our time together. He takes the time to focus on mastering a single concept before moving on to the next topic. Another quality I found helpful was his responsiveness to emails and texts. Whenever an issue came up that prevented him or I (mostly I lol) he would accommodate my request to reschedule. I plan on taking lessons from Adam in the future and would recommend him to anyone interested in exploring music!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
    Private and Group lessons
  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
    The first lesson focuses on collecting information about musical or lesson experiences and explaining my teaching method. I will provide some introductory materials and based on the student's ability and goals, and recommend materials to purchase. We will create specific daily, weekly, and monthly goals for you to achieve, which may be modified later based on progress. What you can expect: After 3 to 6 months of lessons with regular practice you will have learned 3 or 4 songs of your choice and numerous ways of expressing yourself through music. You will have a basic knowledge of chords, how to read musical notation, strumming patterns and basic rhythms. To achieve these results, you must be willing to practice 20-30 minutes a day most days each week.
