Learn beginner-friendly guitar and ukulele in a relaxed, supportive way- whether you’re picking up an instrument for the first time, returning after years away, or helping a young beginner get started. Basic skills are learned within the context of songs you love, whether that’s today’s hits or the classic 60s and 70s folk, singer-songwriter and acoustic music of my own retro tribe.
Ideal for beginners, returning players, and frustrated learners who want a calmer, simpler approach.
I teach guitar and ukulele with a calm, encouraging approach designed to help beginners feel comfortable, capable, and musical right from the start.
Many of my students are adults rediscovering music later in life. Others are younger beginners learning for the first time.
The goal is the same for everyone:
make learning feel simple, enjoyable, and encouraging.
you’ve always wanted to play but felt intimidated
you tried lessons before and got overwhelmed
you love folk, singer-songwriter, or acoustic 60s/70s retro classics
you want a patient teacher and a relaxed pace
you’re looking for a positive first music experience for your child
you want to enjoy music instead of feeling pressured by it
Tried playing and it didn’t work out?
