Brookline is a community where creativity and education go hand in hand. I work with many students here who want guitar lessons that feel focused, thoughtful, and connected to real musical growth.
I am a Professor of Guitar at Berklee College of Music, and I have spent decades teaching guitar to students at every level. Alongside my work at Berklee, I offer private guitar lessons in Brookline for students who want clear instruction, steady progress, and a deeper understanding of the instrument.
