Guitar and Bass Lessons on Bainbridge Island

Hi! My name is Scott and I’m now accepting students on Bainbridge Island.

I specialize in adult students, but I’m happy teaching students age 10 and up.

I teach acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and bass guitar, but I also teach music theory and songwriting, and I can help you learn to record yourself at a professional level using recording software and equipment.

I’ve been teaching private lessons since 2001, and I’ve developed a holistic approach to teaching that balances creativity, knowledge, and skill. Music is a language, and my goal is to help you get fluent. Of course I can help you learn songs and develop your technique, but I’m also going to help you learn to play with other people and develop your understanding of music theory through improvisation and writing music. My goal is to keep you interested, curious, and engaged with fun homework and helpful lessons catered to your specific goals and interests.

Beginners:
Wether you tried guitar before and it just didn’t stick or you’ve never touched an instrument before, I can help you. I’m incredibly patient and absolutely love helping people get those “aha” moments when things finally start making sense. All you need to do is practice and show up for lessons and I’ll help you develop skills and guide you toward your goals.

Intermediate:
Maybe you’ve been playing guitar for years, but just haven’t noticed any improvement. Or maybe you feel like you’re missing something when it comes to creating your own music or playing with other people. I can help you learn the practical music theory and skills you need to improvise, play with others, write your own music, and develop your own unique style. The intermediate plateau is real, and I have plenty of experience helping people move out of it.

I am highly adaptable, patient, and willing to help anyone with a desire to learn and a little time to practice.
