Guitar Lessons in Central Oregon

Confidence Building – Help you develop the belief in your own ability to create and play music. We often doubt ourselves, I won’t let you.

Creativity – Encourage you to explore your unique sound, styles, and ideas from day one. I will teach you how to express those ideas.

Autonomy – Empower you to make decisions about your learning journey, such as song choices and techniques you want to focus on. I want you to play the music that you want to play.

Technique & Fundamentals – While always allowing freedom, you’ll still focus on building essential skills like chords, scales, rhythm, and picking patterns.

Music Theory in Context – Teaching music theory through the lens of the music you love, integrating concepts into your favorite songs and styles. Theory is more interesting and less overwhelming when taught through your unique musical lens.

I keep things simple. I offer in-person (Bend/Sisters/Redmond) or online guitar lessons that are flexible, personal, and actually fun.

Let’s talk about what you want out of the guitar.

From there, we’ll pick a time that works for you to meet once a week, same day and time. That rhythm is where real progress happens, and it keeps things simple for both of us.

Ongoing lessons start at $50 an hour. I use a sliding scale (pun intended) for low-income households. I believe that music education is a right, not a privilege.

My job is to make the learning clear, creative, and relevant to you. Your job is to show up curious.

• Lesson Recording: You can easily record each lesson, allowing you to review it anytime. If you forget something I said, no worries, you can find it in the recorded session.
• Resource Hub: Links, diagrams, and learning materials are shared directly in the chat, so you won’t need to keep track of papers or notes. Everything is organized and easily accessible.
• Convenience: Learn from the comfort of your own home without the hassle of travel time or extra fees. Simply log in, and we’re ready to go.
• Flexibility: With no need to travel, scheduling is more flexible, and you can learn in a setting where you feel most comfortable.

A Few Considerations: Headphones and a microphone are recommended for the best sound quality. A tablet or computer is required, as mobile phones are not suitable for this type of learning. Larger screens make it easier to see demonstrations and stay engaged during your lesson.
