Guitar Shed

About Guitar Shed

I like to think of us as a modern music school. My wife helped me with the interior design, and our lobby feels more like a living room than a doctor’s office. In my experience, several schools (not just music schools) have a sterile feeling that isn’t very conducive to learning. We also have someone in our lobby at all times, whether it is myself or someone from our admin team, to help parents and students with scheduling and billing. That way, all our teachers have to worry about is teaching. Another thing that sets us apart is our teachers. Our teachers are all great players AND great teachers. The two don’t always go hand in hand. I’ve played gigs with most of our teachers so I know firsthand they are great players, and I knew when I met each one of them that they were passionate about teaching. They are also great people, that helps too! Our studio is also very diverse on multiple levels. We have students and teachers from several different backgrounds, and if you’ve been to a recital of ours, you know we have a wide variety of music as well. I am a firm believer that anyone can learn to play an instrument, so we try our best to be as inclusive as possible. Most of all, we are all big proponents of lifelong learning. From our Jaminals classes for toddlers to our veteran guitar players who have been at it since the ’60s, we believe that you are never too old or too young to start the journey of learning music. I still teach a handful of students, but I’m not taking on any new students at the moment. I love talking to parents and students about guitars, local restaurants, concerts, soccer schedules, yoga, and more. If you see me around the Shed, please don’t hesitate to say hi! Keep Shedding!
