About

I teach the guitar on a comfort first approach. What I mean by this is that I want to develop good feel and a comfort level between you and the guitar before we move on to your higher ambitions! I believe that feeling at ease or at "home" with the instrument is key to forming a lifelong love of the guitar. The goal is not to just rattle off exercises and learn songs but to instead create a solid foundation on which you can build a lasting deep connection with the instrument. We will discuss your guitar goals and figure out together the best personalized way to reach them (in a way that is not overwhelming but extremely exciting!). I come from a classic rock background, and have played guitar for 13 years. I have played guitar everyday of my life since starting as a kid and am in love with it. I am currently in a rock band that plays shows in Toronto. I will do my best to have you excited to play and mess around on the instrument everyday! I don't expect you to practice everyday, but I want you just to hold, mess around and have fun on the guitar everyday. That is way more important than regimented practice in my opinion. We will still come up with a feasible practice plan to reach set goals, but we will do it in a way that makes you see result. Once we develop your feel for the instrument, we will learn chords, songs, how to solo, how to play with other musicians, and how to write!
