Reading is a community where many people value steady progress and learning that fits naturally into everyday life. I work with guitar students here who want lessons that are organized, supportive, and focused on real improvement.
I am a Professor of Guitar at Berklee College of Music, and I have spent decades teaching guitar to students at every stage of development. Alongside my work at Berklee, I offer private guitar lessons in Reading for students who want clear instruction, consistent progress, and a better understanding of how the guitar works.
Guitar Students I Work With in Reading
The students I teach in Reading often want guitar to be something they can enjoy and improve over time. Some are beginners looking for a clear starting point. Others are returning players or self taught musicians who want more direction.
I regularly work with:
Beginners who want a comfortable and encouraging introduction to guitar
Teenagers building confidence and good playing habits
Adults balancing music with work and family responsibilities
Players who feel unsure about what to practice next
Guitarists interested in rock, blues, jazz, and contemporary styles
My experience as a Berklee College of Music guitar professor allows me to adjust lessons to each student’s needs while keeping progress focused and manageable.
