Belmont is a community where education, creativity, and steady personal growth are highly valued. I work with guitar students here who want lessons that feel clear, thoughtful, and focused on real musical understanding.
I am a Professor of Guitar at Berklee College of Music, and I have spent decades teaching guitar to students at every experience level. Alongside my work at Berklee, I offer private guitar lessons in Belmont for students who want to build strong fundamentals, understand what they are playing, and make consistent progress over time.
