Guitar Lessons in Annandale NJ!

Private lessons for individual adults, children and teens, as well as paired lessons for spouses, siblings and parent/child!

If you are in Annandale and interested in learning to play guitar (or learning to play better) I’m here to help! Annandale has a long history of supporting the arts and you can see live music in town at Harper’s Table, where a regular open mic is available too.

If you play a bit already, you’re probably interested in playing a particular song or songs. We’ll choose one and break it down into manageable sections, getting it one piece at a time and at a comfortable speed for you. And any style is fine! Rock, country, blues, folk- it’s all good!

Lessons with me are goal-based, meaning you decide what you want to do, and I’ll get you there. Whatever you want to play, I’ll help you figure out any parts you’re having trouble with and offer suggestions for exercises that will help you overcome that problem.  Timing, strumming, arpeggios, playing melody over chord changes, playing lead as well as rhythm guitar are all subjects we can focus on- plus, accompanying yourself on guitar while you sing! I also often create a custom video for your specific song, addressing problems you might be having with the tune. The video on this page is an example of that kind of  “extra” help.

I also offer ukulele lessons and I have loaner guitars and ukuleles to beginning students for a nominal fee.
