Wellesley is a place where education and thoughtful learning are part of everyday life. I work with many students here who want guitar lessons that feel focused, intentional, and built around 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 with a wide range of goals. Alongside my work at Berklee, I offer private guitar lessons for students in Wellesley who want to build strong skills, understand the instrument more deeply, and enjoy the process of learning music.

Many of the students I teach in Wellesley are motivated and curious. Some are younger students who take music seriously. Others are adults who want guitar to be a meaningful and rewarding part of their lives.
I regularly work with:
Beginners who want a solid and supportive start

Adults returning to guitar after time away
