Students come from throughout the Merrimack Valley for private guitar lessons in classical, jazz and popular
styles. Instruction is available for beginning, intermediate and advanced students.

The guitar is a very versatile instrument and many approaches can be taken to play it well. As a guitar teacher, I
am very flexible regarding personal musical preferences and make every effort to develop individual lesson formats
to develop the student's ability while maintaining interest. There are, however, certain fundamentals that apply to all
styles of music. Students will learn to read music and, when appropriate, will also receive some instruction in
basic music theory.  

RESUME  
Former music department faculty; Bradford College (Bradford), Brooks School (North Andover), Phillips
Academy (Andover), Pingree School (Hamilton). Also taught “Introduction to Music” and “Music Theory and
Improvisation” through Adult Education Program at Northern Essex Community College.

Bachelor of Music from New England Conservatory (1975), classical guitar performance major.
Private guitar instructor was Robert Paul Sullivan. Attended master class with Jose Rey de al Torre,
Cuban/American concert artist. Also elected to Pi Kappa Lambda, National Music Honor Society.

Fall of 1970 to spring of 1972 studied jazz at Berklee College of Music. Guitar teachers included Tom Sczymczak,
Lenny Perry, Mick Goodrick and William Leavitt.


Studios for music lessons are located at
Haverhill Music Centre in Haverhill, MA and Londonderry Piano in Salem,
NH. Lessons are one half hour and are scheduled weekly. Many intermediate and advanced guitarists, as well as
busy professionals, are simply unable to attend weekly lessons.  For these students I offer a more flexible
alternative. Students may call whenever they wish to arrange for a one hour, private lesson, subject to the
limitations of my schedule.

Please get in touch by email or phone for pricing and scheduling information.
