Summary
I’m a gigging guitarist with 10 + years of stage and teaching experience, comfortable guiding everyone from first-time strummers to advanced players. My lessons blend solid technique, music-theory basics, and students’ favorite songs so progress feels fun and relevant. I’m based in Jersey City, have a flexible schedule, and love collaborating with a creative faculty to keep the vibes high and the music fresh. I’d be thrilled to help your students rock their next breakthrough.
