Standard rates of $50 per hour and $25 per half hour at Uptown Music and Jon Sharp Studios, or in-home location with $10 fee to cover time and gas if I travel to your location in Salem, Dallas, or McMinnville for guitar lessons. Discounts available for group lessons.

I write individual lesson plans and learning progressions for each of my students. When you study with me, I make sure that you're headed in the direction you want to go as a musician and a guitarist. I've used Frederick Noad's Solo Guitar Playing, Scott Tennant's Pumping Nylon, and various other resources in teaching, but my goal is to start you playing real music as soon as possible.
Required equipment:
- Guitar
- Guitar strap or foot stool
- Tuner
- Metronome
- Method Book
- Notebook
- Music Stand
I travel up to 30 minutes to teach at your location, and I also offer remote lessons over Zoom
