What to expect in my Guitar Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate

Guitar students will explore the instrument through both practical skills and musical creativity. Lessons include learning proper technique, chord shapes, strumming and picking patterns, rhythm, and foundational music theory. We’ll build your skills through songs you enjoy while expanding your understanding of how music works. Students will also develop ear training and improvisation skills to become more versatile players. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to take your playing to the next level, lessons are customized to help you grow at your own pace and style.


What to expect in my Vocal Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

Students can expect a supportive and engaging environment where they’ll learn how their voice works and how to use it confidently and expressively. Lessons will focus on healthy vocal technique, tone production, breath support, and musical interpretation across a variety of styles. We’ll also work on ear training, diction, and stage presence to help you feel comfortable performing or auditioning. Each lesson is tailored to your goals—whether that’s improving range and control, preparing for performances, or simply learning to enjoy singing more deeply.
