Question 1

Do I have to live in Seattle to take lessons?

Accepted Answer

Nope! I have online lesson options available so that anyone can take lessons with me, no matter where they live!

Question 2

Do you teach online or only in-person?

Accepted Answer

I am happy to teach online via Zoom or Skype as well as in-person if you live in the Seattle area. Generally, students come to my band's practice space in North Seattle for lessons, but I'm also available to travel to your home to teach (this may require an extra commute charge and depend on proximity). I'm also happy to do a combination - both online and in-person to give students grater flexibility. For students who are minors, a parent or guardian is required to be present at any in-person lessons.

Question 3

Do you only teach adults or do you accept youth as students too?

Accepted Answer

I am happy to teach students of all ages! For minor students under 18, a parent or guardian must be present for any in-person lessons. If you choose to take lessons online through Zoom or Skype, I am happy to help walk families through the process to make sure my students are set up for success!

Question 4

I've never touched an instrument in my life. Can I still take lessons?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I'm happy to get your started and on your way to shredding in record-time!

What equipment do I need to have to get started with lessons?

Accepted Answer

To get started with guitar or bass lessons, you will need:
Guitar or Bass
Guitar Pick
Guitar tuner

We can cover how to get these items in our free 15 minute discovery call and I am happy to recommend specific brands and where to buy items. Don't stress, I will help you get the equipment you need to be successful!

If you choose to take lessons online, it is important to have a computer that has a working camera, speakers, and microphone as well as a quiet room to be in for the lessons. I am happy to help you get everything set up and working and fix any bugs that come up to ensure a successful online learning environment!
