I teach acoustic guitar, electric guitar and ukulele for a variety of styles including pop, blues, rock, indie, and folk.

I love to watch my students grow as musicians and develop new skills for expressing themselves through the guitar. I craft my lesson plans to match my students’ interests, allowing them to learn the songs and styles they want to learn, while also giving them the foundational skills they need to become well rounded musicians. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5adbe0777c93277e7b2f6555/1561394939951-WG91H2UW9DRUYIX2ZLEA/DSC_0267-2.jpg Home - About The Studio I teach out of my studio in Etobicoke and from my home in Downtown Toronto in the Church and Wellesley area.

The best are generally tuners that mount onto the guitar and check the tuning through vibrations since they are the most accurate and do not pick up outside sounds. However, many free apps, and other non-mounted tuners exist that are also fine for solo practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5adbe0777c93277e7b2f6555/86afe170-90fd-4955-b13a-118bd133bde6/81IHloYekIL._AC_SX522_.jpg Guitar Info for Beginners - Guitar Plectrums (Picks): Another basic tool every guitarist should have is at least a few picks. Although some guitar players play exclusively with their fingers, the majority will use a mix of plectrum picking and fingerpicking. Picks tend to get lost and you should always have a bunch, so you have one when you need one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5adbe0777c93277e7b2f6555/1657819370485-MLNLN74TAW86AC8XDPOP/Guitar+Essentials+Pics+%283%29.jpg Guitar Info for Beginners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5adbe0777c93277e7b2f6555/1657819381766-3ND9FG08VMDNDUUABJFU/Guitar+Essentials+Pics+%284%29.jpg Guitar Info for Beginners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5adbe0777c93277e7b2f6555/1657819385873-4TLE5X2FKF6K7VZXVI6U/M8HTV-20-MAIN.jpg Guitar Info for Beginners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5adbe0777c93277e7b2f6555/1657819389823-KERYMTMWD5K7QPLVU6HT/GTR-200-Full_RGB_1800.jpg Guitar Info for Beginners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5adbe0777c93277e7b2f6555/0b348702-aa25-492c-9e46-30d871dc51f6/hannah-gullixson-d8o0JTbua0c-unsplash.jpg Guitar Info for Beginners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5adbe0777c93277e7b2f6555/172fcdb6-3a7f-48c3-bf66-b433b1a712ee/Guitar+Essentials+Pics+%282%29.jpg Guitar Info for Beginners - Extra Guitar Strings: Strings tend to snap when you least expect it, and when you most need them, so it is a good idea to always have an extra set, and to know how to change them yourself. Remember that you need different strings for an acoustic, electric, or classical guitar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5adbe0777c93277e7b2f6555/34202f3a-c175-420a-9f43-aa612f4a0c3e/sergei-sushchik-Dyo5xZX687M-unsplash.jpg Guitar Info for Beginners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5adbe0777c93277e7b2f6555/5658df51-a557-43d5-8908-b369d0ca6b54/martin-rajdl-Olg60_RTPc8-unsplash.jpg Guitar Info for Beginners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5adbe0777c93277e7b2f6555/9fbba7a5-520c-47a6-a316-b6339587ed2f/Guitar+Essentials+Pics+%281%29.jpg Guitar Info for Beginners - Guitar Capo: Without getting into the technical details, a capo changes the key of the chords you play allowing you to match and play along with original recordings of songs. It can also match your chords to the key that someone is singing in, which is useful since vocal ranges are limited, while a guitar is not. Along with a tuner, picks, and a metronome, the capo is one of the essential guitar accessories that every beginning guitarist should have. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5adbe0777c93277e7b2f6555/1657826650393-R1H688WNUGTL05HQECOM/blur-bowed-stringed-instrument-classic-230800.jpg Guitar Info for Beginners https://blackrivermusicstudio.com/free-guitar-theory-pdfs daily 0.75 2022-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5adbe0777c93277e7b2f6555/d1b6d4ba-704a-4469-a60e-316ffa7e4fec/Guitar+Theory+2+Lesson+Sheet.png Guitar Theory https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5adbe0777c93277e7b2f6555/34e90bdc-9f1f-4aa7-ae11-9c2643fd180e/Guitar+Theory+4+Lesson+Sheet.png Guitar Theory - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5adbe0777c93277e7b2f6555/bc1cca84-ed57-43eb-87ed-55dc3541afad/Guitar+Thoery+1+Lesson+Sheet.png Guitar Theory https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5adbe0777c93277e7b2f6555/10b0b681-ae87-49dd-9c8f-7f417fc021a2/Guitar+Theory+5+Lesson+Sheet.png Guitar Theory - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5adbe0777c93277e7b2f6555/a5f513fb-19af-4cb3-8809-fc137893a1b1/Guitar+Theory+3+Lesson+Sheet.png Guitar Theory https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5adbe0777c93277e7b2f6555/1657823052492-SNHM7W3OEDV1V0MFO9KA/blur-bowed-stringed-instrument-classic-230800.jpg Guitar Theory
