There are no wrong notes

I teach guitar, drums, bass, keys, and music production out of my studio in the Renton Highlands — and online, wherever you are.

From lesson one, you'll be playing by ear, making your own sound, and having fun doing it.

Not "eventually." Lesson one.

YOUR FIRST LESSON IS 100% FREE — no pressure, no commitment

The biggest lie in music

You don't have to be "talented" to do this.

I've taught hundreds of students, from age 2 to 72, and every single one of them could hear something and play it back.

That's not a gift some people are born with — it's a skill, and you can start building it today.

Why you won't see a lesson book in my studio

If a book could teach you, you wouldn't need me.

Everything's already sitting there on the page. What I actually teach is everything the page can't give you…

…your ear, your feel, your confidence — the ability to sit down with any song you love and just figure it out.

For good.

On your own.

Any note can become the best note

Hit something that doesn't quite fit?

That's not a mistake, that's an opportunity.

And here's the good news: the "right" note is never far — it's one fret away, one key away, one half step away.

Bend it, slide it, nudge it over — and suddenly it's the coolest thing you played all day.

Once you stop being scared of "wrong" notes, you actually start playing.

That's when it gets fun.

You can be serious about music, without taking music too seriously

Learning an instrument should feel like the best part of your week, not homework.

I take the craft seriously — technique, musicality, actually sounding good — but I don't take myself too seriously, and neither should you.

Come mess around, make noise, screw up, laugh about it, and get better anyway

I teach all ages — you're never too young or too old to start.

Lessons available in-person in the Renton Highlands, or online from anywhere.
