About Kevin
I started as a folksinger in the 60's and my fingerstyle led to a degree in classical guitar. For many years, I toured and performed with symphony orchestras. These days, I have my own school and I teach lots of different styles, acoustic and electric. I like to teach music theory using songs, and I am constantly doing new stuff for my students. I used to teach at UMass, and my old website there is still up. The studio is at (concealed information)
I like the variety, meeting new people, and seeing how happy people are playing even the simplest songs on the guitar. Just a little knowledge opens the door, I love seeing that. We get to play music together, from day one. That's cool.
My mother likes to tell the story of how I tried to teach my cousins guitar when I was seven :-)) I started teaching full-time in Amherst in 1969 and I haven't stopped since. I love this job.
BMus from The Hartt School of Music, West Hartford, CT; studied Theory & Composition at Queens College/CUNY, Flushing, NY; nine summers at the Aspen Music School & Festival studying classical guitar.

I like to start from where you are. I find that when you know one thing, no matter how simple, you also know many other things. I like to show you what you know, no matter how simple, and then how to expand on that.
Over the years, I have had the priviledge of sharing my love of the guitar with people from every age-group, in groups, classes, and private lessons. I teach beginners and professional musicians and everyone in-between. It is all fundamentals.
There are lots of good teachers. Find someone who you connect with, and get them to teach you. A good student makes a good teacher. I have been lucky, all my students are good students.
We had an open house recently where two families came in with their two boys who are growing up as brothers. And these two little boys, ages six and seven, just picked instruments and starting going at it, playing music together. You can't teach that, it just happens and you are grateful to be part of it. Now, my job is to give them the skills they need to keep going.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What do you want out of guitar lessons? Do you want to learn fundamentals of music and expand your horizons? Do you just want to play some songs for yourself? Do you want to get good enough to play in front of other people? Once your priorities are set, the steps will follow, my teacher says.
