About Colin
Colin Ward is an exceptional mentor and guitar teacher to students of all ages, styles, and levels. Proficient in both acoustic and electric guitar, bass, and music theory, Colin offers lessons at affordable rates.
The reward of teaching my cumulation of experience and knowledge, to those both younger and older than me, has surprisingly left me happier than I could dream of as a professional musician. As a performer, I know the ins and more common than not, outs of the industry, and love being able to spread healthy information to those in need of advancing their musical lives!
I began teaching soon after I picked up the instrument. With a general knack for teaching, thanks to my mother who has her PHD in Education, I was instantly helping friends in junior high school both older and younger than I, learn how to play guitar!
I have been studying and teaching the guitar, bass, mandolin, and music theory since I was 10 years old. In the magical state of Oregon, I attended Lane Community College, Portland State University, and Southern Oregon University where I studied performamce, composition, classical, jazz, theory, analysis, arrangement, orchestration, music history, sight reading and ear training, and last but most, POSITIVITY.
I have been playing in bands and as a solo artist profesionally in many regions of the United States. I have recorded several original albums, singles, and helped produce records for other artists.

As opposed to the typical guitar teacher method of just "learning songs" I design my methods with an open mind, tailored to each students' needs as a guitarist. I believe a well rounded approach to the instrument is necessary, including a heavy emphasis on rhythm training, and music theory. You will hear me repeating these phrases; "There are a million ways to skin the music cat!" and "Metronome, Metronome, Metronome!"
I have worked with students of all backgrounds. Young children to Retired hobbyists. Advanced or Beginner. Those looking for campfire cowboy chords, to those looking for a career in performance.
Let's have a chat about your goals/needs. I want to make sure you have the time to practice (even if that's only 15 mins a day)
PHISH is my go to band. Trey Anastasio's improvisational ability and compositions are my absolute favorite.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Do I have adequate gear, transportation, and commitment to make these lessons happen?
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Provides great materials in a manner anyone without a theory background can understand. Very kind, patient, and humble. Couldn’t recommend Coilin more!
Colin is a masterful guitarist and an exceptional teacher. He is thoughtful in his approach and is always open to meet the needs or desires of the student. He is always on time and prepared for the lessons and operates at a very organized and professional level. Colin has the ability to help get an aspiring musician of and running, propel an advanced guitarist to a whole new level and everything in between.
Colin provides a comprehensive approach to learning including exercises to improve playing skills, instruction on particular techniques of interest, music theory applied to guitar, and songs/licks bringing it all together.
Music has always been a huge part of me. Growing up, I played the piano for a couple of years, and then in 5th grade through high school I played percussion, primarily xylophone and bells. I attempted to continue playing in college, but it didn’t quite work out and I really didn’t have the time to dedicate.
I had really missed playing music, so this past summer I decided to start learning how to play the acoustic guitar. It was something I had always wanted to do, but never really had time to start.
As “Facebook fate” would have it, I found an amazing local guitar instructor. Shout out to the one and only, Colin Ward!
Colin is an extremely talented musician and wonderful teacher! As an absolute beginner, he is so patient with me and puts up with my uncoordinated self while I continually laugh at myself struggling to play chords and make it look (and sound) like I know what I’m doing. HAHA!
All kidding aside, I absolutely enjoy my time with Colin every session. Each lesson is tailored to whatever I wish to work on. And even when I don’t get the chance to practice much during the week, we always have fun learning something and jamming out.
If you or anyone you know, kids or adults, wants to learn guitar (or maybe looking for a couple of lessons to "step up their game”), I **HIGHLY** recommend Colin Ward!!
He teaches acoustic and electric guitar, whichever you'd like to learn, as well as music theory (which is also lots of fun too, but I’m a little biased).
Blasting “Brown Eyed Girl” in the car and trying not to strum along while driving is difficult. LOL! #music #acoustic #guitar #funColin started teaching guitar lessons to my son Cooper about 6 months ago. During this time Cooper has grown in confidence with playing the guitar, with reading music, and with himself. I appreciate Colin adapting each lesson to meet my child where he is at. Colin is always enthusiastic, and personable. Colin is patient, flexible and reliable. I highly recommend him!
Colin is an amazing teacher. When I make a mistake he never yells at me, he just helps me fix it. He makes me laugh and I learn a lot from him. (Cooper is 8 years old).
Everything, and not an exaggeration. I’m relatively new to guitar despite playing drums my whole life, and i came with the decision to play in p4 instead of alternate tuning. Colin was not only accommodating, he even showed enthusiasm for stepping out of his own comfort zone; a trait desirable in musicians.
Colin gets a clear understanding of what you want to achieve and custom tailors his lessons to get you to where you want to be in the most efficient way possible.
He goes above and beyond the time to ensure that what he planned to get done for the lesson gets done, and if it means going over for twice the amount of time planned, hes all in. Colin truly cares about the growth of his students and its clearly reflected in his teaching. He’s always accessible to answer questions and is one of the friendliest people, in general, ive ever met.
Colin breaks down concepts ive struggled with in the past into ways that are incredibly easy to understand and digest. Hes a wealth of knowledge and seeks to pass on everything he knows. You’d be hard pressed to find another teacher comparable to Colin, let alone at the price he offers lessons. Teachers in music can make or break the desire for the student to continue learning, and with this in mind i really cant recommend colin enough!
easy going. no pressure. tries to understand your needs and skill level
Colin Ward is a passionate musician who truly cares about teaching and helping other musicians grow. He offers very high-quality lessons! I have learned invaluable lessons from Colin in a short amount of time and would recommend him to anyone looking to improve their skills, ranging from beginners to experts as well.
Collin Ward is an awesome guitar teacher I just started at 55 years old For six months I feel that I have gotten awesome guitar lessons
Colin is very patient and takes a comprehensive approach to the guitar. You will quickly find out where your weaknesses are and strive to strengthen them.
Colin Ward is a great teacher! He is very knowledgeable and he is good af what he does. I feel that I am making lot of progress since starting the lessons thanks to Colin's great teaching skills. I would highly recommend him.
