We offer a wide range of guitar lessons, for absolute beginners to advanced players. James has worked with hundreds of student guitarists, including teaching guitar classes for the local school district, coaching rock bands, and conducting week long summer music camps.

We work with students of every age and skill level.

Our lessons are taught in a fun and relaxed style but are goal oriented. Each lesson is designed specifically for the individual student.


All materials provided: song sheets, chord charts and instructional handouts.
