Strings

I have played guitar and cello for 30 years and have been teaching both for 12 years. For guitar, I specialize in rock and blues for rhythm and lead guitar, improvising leads, ear-training, and helping students who wish to write their own songs. Cello students follow a classical pedagogical sequence which includes scales, etudes, duets, solo pieces, and music theory. I love music and I love to teach it. Call me or e-mail me to find out more!
