Newton is home to many people who value education, consistency, and long-term growth. I work with a lot of students here who want guitar lessons that feel focused, well paced, and genuinely worthwhile.
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 Newton who want to develop strong skills and a deeper understanding of music.

Many of the students I teach in Newton are adults who want guitar to be a meaningful part of their lives. Some are beginners. Others are returning players or musicians looking to refine what they already know.
I regularly work with:
Adults balancing music with busy professional lives
Players returning to guitar after time away
Students who want clear structure and direction
Guitarists interested in steady improvement rather than quick fixes
Players exploring rock, blues, jazz, or contemporary styles
