Private Music Lessons – Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin, Ukulele, Bass

During 15 years working as a full-time private music teacher (guitar, banjo, mandolin, ukulele and electric bass) Kevin has taught at music camps, performed at festivals with his own bands and coached many student bands and family bands. 

Kevin adapts his teaching approach to the unique interests and learning styles of each student, his students ranging from 4 to 85 years old. He is a registered Suzuki Method guitar teacher, and his student bands have been a yearly attraction at the Anchorage Folk Festival.

Kevin enjoys empowering people to discover in their own experience that:
*  it's easy to play and enjoy music
*  everyone is inherently musical.  Everyone has unique, beautiful,  inborn musical ability regardless of age or experience or what someone may have told them
*  everyone can learn to have fun playing music with others
*  there are endless new musical possibilities and explorations you can engage when you feel stuck    

Private lessons:     half hour - $45       45 min - $68

Group classes:  Kevin occasionally teaches classes and workshops to help people learn to play ensemble, in bands, and socially.  Contact Kevin for more info.

Reviews from Parents

Scott and I have thanked our lucky stars many times that we found you.   We can’t imagine what our boys’ lives would have been without you.  

The boys have both found a deep passion for music and it has brought them friends and opportunities and involvements we never could have imagined.  C will be going to China next year with his band.
