Lansing, Michigan - Beginning Guitar Lessons

Live in Lansing, MI and want to learn how to play guitar? Cool, you got the right idea! 

I'm Currently Accepting New Students - Contact Me to book.

 I'd love to help you reach your goals, whether you aspire to be the next YouTube sensation, help out in your church band, or if you'd like to surprise that special someone with a romantic serenade...I can get you up to speed fairly quickly, young or old.  Do yourself a favor and get an instructor. When you have someone who can break it down and simplify it for you, your learning curve will be much smoother and more enjoyable as well. 

A little about myself:

• I've played guitar for 10 + years; was first a songwriter and was motivated to learn guitar so I could match melodies & words together to form songs.
  
• I am the Director of Music at Grand Ledge Baptist Church; leading a congregation of 400 members in song during two weekend services.
• I independently funded, recorded and released a cd "Matter of Time" in 2008 and am currently in process of recording a new album.
• I have had the honor of sharing the stage with Sanctus Real and Jeremy Riddle in front of 1,000 + people.
• I'm a patient instructor and like to make the process educational yet fun.
• I began teaching lessons to my college roommates and always found joy seeing how excited they would get after learning their favorite song.
• I'm happily married to my beautiful wife Stephanie, and we have two sons (2 1/2 and 2 months old) who will hopefully join me in a family band :).
