Private Guitar Lessons in Chicago
Private guitar lessons in Chicago and online for students of all ages and experience levels.
Lessons are built around what you want to learn, whether that means playing songs, improving your technique, improvising, understanding music theory, or simply getting more comfortable with the guitar.
Lessons for All Levels
I work with students at all stages of playing, from people picking up a guitar for the first time to experienced musicians looking for a fresh perspective. I also teach adults returning to the instrument after years away, as well as students preparing for college auditions or pursuing music professionally.

My Approach to Teaching
I want lessons to be challenging, but also something you look forward to each week. We’ll spend time playing music, listening, asking questions, and working through the things that are getting in your way. My goal is to give you the tools to figure things out for yourself, so that over time you become less dependent on a teacher and more confident in your own musical decisions.
