What is our goal?

As a teacher, I imagine guitar players creating music together by learning the language of music in which to communicate. I want you too to learn the language of music using my effective step-by-step repeat-tested and proven method.

How do you do it?

To give my customers total value, I calculate each individual's needs, and direct my expert know-how into an effective teaching process that produces results. It's actually not that hard for me to first listen to you, watch you play, and determine what you will need to do now to immediately take off in your guitar playing.

Almost everyone who signs up with me sticks to it, and every single person especially parents love the experience of growing into a well-rounded smart guitar player!

Learn with passion, excitement, and anticipation with Park Street Guitar Lessons method as you progress though my "five pillars to guitar success" method. Go from zero to guitar hero, and advance to the highest guitar playing levels in all musical styles.

Students are then encouraged to play with their friends, and have a ton of fun!!
