Guitar Lessons
- Comfortable easygoing style of teaching
- Innovative offerings of workshops for all levels.
- Students involved with curriculum. They select much of the material they work on to hone their skills.
- Beginning students learn to read music right from the beginning. My familiarity with other instruments enhances my ability to assist students who already read to apply what they know and expand their current knowledge base.
- Successful program of classes offered privately and for groups at Blue Hill Consolidated School, The Bay School, and the Blue Hill Adult Education Program.
