Guitar Lessons with Isaac Engel

Classical guitar for guitar lessons with Jerry Snyder Guitar School method book

Classical and Acoustic Styles

My passion is the classical guitar. I love teaching students in private guitar lessons to read and play from sheet music, to understand music theory on guitar, and to play guitar with healthy technique. This sound fills me with peace, and I find much joy in sharing that peace with my students. I train students to master the classical guitar and other acoustic styles such as worship and finger-style guitar. To play the classical guitar well is be perfectly at rest in the body and the soul.  

Other Styles

My guitar instructor colleagues in Salem, Keizer, Corvallis, and Portland  specialize in jazz guitar lessons, metal guitar lessons, bluegrass guitar lessons, and other genres. In classical guitar lessons I can teach you the foundational guitar skills to successfully study any advanced style, and I can then refer you to the best teacher to help you to continue to master that specialized passion.

My Experience and Education

I currently take lessons from Dr. Cameron O'Connor, professor at Oregon State University.

Additionally, I've performed in masterclasses for Sharon Isbin (2016), Pablo Villegas (2017), Carlos Barbosa-Lima (2019), Colin Davin (2021), and others.


Professional performing experience has included weekly restaurant gigs at Chira's and Capitol City Grill, participation in the 2nd and 3rd Editions of the Virtual Guitar Orchestra under Mak Grgic and Uros Baric, solo performances at senior living communities such as Bonaventure and Dallas Retirement Village, performing with church worship teams, ensemble performances with the Marylhurst Guitar Ensemble and the PSU Guitar Orchestra, participation in various competitions and festivals, and community events such as the Englewood Forest Festival and others.  Check out the past performances page for more details!
