About
Patrick Dugan is part teacher, part musical guide, part studio monk with a guitar. He teaches guitar, bass, ukulele, and voice across pop, rock, jazz, blues, funk, bluegrass, reggae, and heavy metal—because soul and awesomeness show up in many styles. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Professional Music from Berklee College of Music and has been teaching and performing professionally since before 2006. His training spans music theory, recording, production, song writing, artist development, live performance, and music technology, all wrapped in a relaxed, human way of teaching that aims to keep creativity, inspiration, and motivation alive and well. Patrick’s high student retention comes from a rare mix of deep knowledge and real-world wisdom mixed with rare intuition. He welcomes students of every age and background and builds lessons around who they are and who they want to become, not who they’re “supposed” to be. Every session is tailored to the student’s unique voice, strengths, direction, and level of commitment. Many of his students have gone on to pursue successful music careers. Others just want to play with confidence. Patrick believes both are sacred. His goal isn’t perfection—it’s expression, confidence, excellence, and a lifelong relationship with music that one can be proud of.

Patrick was an absolute highlight of our wedding celebration! From the beginning, he was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. He showed amazing flexibility with the timing of the evening, adapting smoothly to a few last-minute changes without missing a beat. His performance was outstanding and created the perfect atmosphere for our special day. So many of our guests commented on how talented he was. If you're looking for a reliable and skilled musician, we highly recommend Patrick!

I’ve learned more in four lessons with Patrick than in months of in-person lessons with a different instructor. The lessons are leading me in directions that are challenging, interesting, and fun. Patrick is patient and encouraging. He has a laid back personality that works for me so I’m really happy I took a shot in the dark and chose this instructor. He’s also really organized, records sessions for you to rewatch, gives you a folder online to keep music and notes in. Really great.

Details: 45 - 64 years old • 0 - 2 yrs of formal training • Yes, can read guitar tabs • Acoustic • Rock • Country • Folk • Yes, the student has an instrument • 60 minutes • Remotely (phone or internet)

Patrick is a great teacher who takes his time with students to let them progress at their own pace. He also responds quickly and is very punctual. While working on learning specific chords and different strumming patterns, with increasing difficulty each session, students can choose personal songs they would like to learn which is used as a thread throughout the sessions. Patrick has a lot of experience and knows handy tools to help you develop your skills at a faster pace. Lastly, he is pleasant company which helps to create a great learning environment.

Details: 26 - 44 years old • No formal training • No, cannot read music • Acoustic • Rock • Blues • Country • Jazz • Classical • What the teacher recommends • No, but the student is planning to purchase an instrument • 60 minutes • My home, venue, etc.

Patrick is great at assessing playing ability and tailoring the lessons to match the student. He keeps learning and practicing exciting by mixing in music theory with actual songs and suggests great songs to learn that showcase the theory we discussed. I am making great progress with him and would definitely recommend him as an instructor!

Details: 18 - 25 years old • No formal training; some self-taught experience • Yes, can read guitar tabs • Electric • Rock • Jazz • Yes, the student has an instrument • 45 minutes • Remotely (phone or internet)
