FAQ

๐ŸŽต Frequently Asked Questions

๐Ÿ‘‰ What ages do you teach? โ–ถ
I work with students of all ages, from kids as young as 9 to adults of any age. Lessons are tailored to each studentโ€™s pace and goals.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Do I need my own instrument? โ–ถ
Yes โ€” having your own instrument is important for practice outside of lessons. If youโ€™re just starting out, I can recommend affordable beginner options for guitar, bass, drums, or piano. If necessary, I can bring an extra guitar or bass to our first few lessons, but I will recommend that you acquire your own instrument for practice outside of lessons.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Where do lessons take place? โ–ถ
I offer in-home lessons throughout Portland and surrounding cities, as well as online lessons for anyone who prefers learning remotely.

From rock, pop, and blues to folk, funk, and jazz โ€” Iโ€™ve got you covered. I also teach beat making, production, mixing, and mastering for students interested in digital music creation.
