Guitar Lessons in Landsdown Meadows NJ!

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

The Landsdown area is known for the Landsdown Trail, once a spur line for the Lehigh Valley Railroad, completed in 1881. It connected the Town of Clinton with Landsdown. While the line was mainly used for passenger service, freight was also moved on the line to and from Mulligan’s Mill (known today as the Clinton Mill), which operated as a grist mill and also processed graphite. Operation on the line discontinued several decades ago but the old train station survives and has been converted and used as a store for Cyrus Fox Lumber Company in Clinton. The County acquired the old rail line acquired in 1993, and the adjoining property in 2009.

If you are in the Landsdown Meadows area and interested in learning to play guitar (or learning to play better) I’m here to help! I’m in Lebanon, right over by the Cushetunk preserve.

If you play a bit already, you’re probably interested in playing a particular song or songs. We’ll choose one from your list and break it down into manageable sections, getting it one piece at a time and at a comfortable speed for you. 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. I often create a custom video for your song specifically- example video is on this page. I also offer ukulele lessons and I have loaner guitars and ukuleles for beginning students that want to try out the instrument, available for a nominal fee.

The in-person lessons will often include a video which focuses on specific problems you might be having – the video on this page is an example done for one of my students.
