About Me

Hi! I’m Kenneth, a musician and creative with over 15 years of guitar experience, teaching beginner through intermediate students. I specialize in rhythm guitar and also offer lessons in songwriting and performing. My journey has been shaped via playing in bands, live shows, and exploring diverse genres including rock, folk, and indie. I believe music should spark joy, not frustration. Studies show about 90% of beginners give up guitar within their first year, so I center my approach on keeping learning fun, creative, and motivating. My lessons focus on practical skills and developing a personal style rather than rigid theory-starting with fundamentals, rhythm, and even composition. I’ve won talent awards like judges' choice in Tulsa’s Battle of the Bands, and played everything from solo gigs to major events and weddings. My goal is to help each student stay inspired, build confidence, and reach their musical goals, wherever they start on their journey. Schedule a meeting with me so we can discuss your musical journey! Let’s make your guitar experience creative, personal, and lasting!
