Melrose is a community where people often look for balance between work, family, and creative interests. I work with many students here who want guitar lessons that feel steady, encouraging, and well thought out.
I am a Professor of Guitar at Berklee College of Music, and I have spent decades teaching guitar to students of all ages and experience levels. Alongside my work at Berklee, I offer private guitar lessons for students in Melrose who want to build confidence, develop real skills, and enjoy learning music at a comfortable pace.
