Personal Guitar Instruction in Stoneham with a Berklee Guitar Professor

Image by Marius Masalar

Stoneham is a town where many people enjoy creative pursuits alongside busy, everyday routines. I work with guitar students here who want lessons that are clear, practical, and focused on steady improvement rather than shortcuts.


I am a Professor of Guitar at Berklee College of Music, and I have spent decades teaching guitar to students at all experience levels. Alongside my work at Berklee, I offer private guitar lessons in Stoneham for students who want to build strong fundamentals, understand the instrument better, and feel confident about their progress.


Guitar Students I Work With in Stoneham


The students I teach in Stoneham often want guitar to be something they can grow with over time. Some are beginners looking for a supportive place to start. Others are returning players or self taught musicians who want more clarity and 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 helps me tailor lessons to each student while keeping progress organized and realistic.
