Tired of guitar teachers who act like it is their lesson instead of yours? Do you want to learn what you want instead of what the teacher wants? That's what I deliver: guitar lessons made for you. I have no agenda, other than making sure your guitar lessons are fun! You decide what material we cover, and I'll help you reach your goals on the guitar. [And, if you're not sure what you want, we can sit down and make custom lessons that work for you]. I'm a full-time guitar teacher with over 20 years experience in all styles. Come to learn music theory, songwriting, advanced techniques, or just how to play your favorite song!

Backbeat Music Academy is dedicated to the idea that everyone has the talent to make the music they want to make: The biggest problems are confusion and therefore intimidation. By providing a clear learning method that adapts to any goal, our students clear up the confusion by learning *how* music works and what they need to do to master it. The result is that our students not only feel empowered to master whatever they set their minds to, but learn how to make authentic music that comes from the heart.
