I enjoyed my on-line lessons with Geraden last year and am looking forward to another year of lessons with him. Geraden is: very knowledgeable & willing to answer my many questions; able to explain the 'why' for learning a particular riff/score; incredibly patient; able to provide the right amount of challenge without being overwhelming; and most of all makes learning fun!

I'm so glad you're enjoying your lessons. I'm so happy when others are enjoying guitar as much as I am!

Geraden is a great teacher. I’ve learned so much from him in a short amount of time. I always enjoy my lessons, and leave inspired to practice and apply what I’ve learned from him to my playing.

I have only had one lesson but it seems we are in agreement in setting a plan to shore up foundational principles and concepts.
He strikes me as a good listener.

What do you love most about your job?
I love getting to know my students. Everyone's personality, background and learning style come together to create a musical experience unique to each person. No two students are ever the same. I enjoy learning about and from my students as much as I do teaching them.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I like communicating with students directly! No middle-person means a more personal lesson experience for the student. Starting my own private lesson service also means no limitations on who, how and when to teach which means more flexibility for my students! I enjoy teaching all ages, skill levels and styles of music.
Why should our clients choose you?
Think of my guitar lessons as a music improvement subscription. You pay for your lessons, but you can also text/call me anytime during the week with any questions. Send me mid-week progress videos and I will return feedback. Need more practice material during the week? I will send some over. I will work with you to create the lesson experience that best suits your style of learning.
