As a young adult I received a guitar as a gift. Little did I know how important that guitar would be in my life!
I moved around a lot but took guitar lessons whenever
I could and also learned from every other source available--books,
tapes, and friends.
Eventually
I began playing guitar and singing in clubs and coffeehouses and for
special events. People started asking me if I could teach them to "play
like that." Giving guitar lessons was a natural next step, and I
discovered that I love to teach.
I have been giving guitar lessons in the Fort Collins/Loveland area since 1996. My home studio is located in northwest Loveland.
I offer friendly, no-pressure, private guitar lessons
for beginning and intermediate students, helping them find direction
and then customizing their guitar lessons to meet their individual
goals.
Because of my experience in performing, one of my
strengths is teaching how to accompany vocals; I am always interested
in hearing new songs and arranging them for solo or closet performing.
Or if your goal is just to have some fun playing
guitar, I teach different strum and fingerpick styles; scales and music
theory to help you play "by ear"; different musical genres, such as
folk, blues, rock, or country; and guitar tablature for learning a
specific arrangement.
I have a large repertoire of songs already worked
out--old and new, all styles except classical and jazz. Get started today, and play for your
friend-and-family get togethers.
