Learning the fundamentals of playing guitar and developing the ability to read standard notation will benefit children tremendously whether they are interested in bluegrass, traditional, country, blues, jazz, rock, classical or any other style of music. My students will gain a strong background in essential areas and have fun!

Learning the fundamentals of playing guitar and developing the ability to read standard notation will benefit children tremendously whether they are interested in bluegrass, traditional, country, blues, jazz, rock, classical or any other style of music. My students will gain a strong background in essential areas and have fun!

I have been playing guitar since 2006 and mandolin since 1996, studying with a master musician. I use the Mel Bay Modern Guitar Method along with chord/strumming practice, emphasis on correct right and left hand technique, and exercises/songs tailored to the student's interests and abilities.

Just send a message to schedule a lesson. Currently, I am offering lessons at the student's home, at my apartment in East Greenbush, NY, or online. Due to Covid-19 safety concerns, for in person lessons I am happy to wear a mask and sit at a distance.

General Music

I have played various instruments including clarinet, piano, mandolin, and guitar over the past 24 years and have been teaching lessons for my primary instrument, guitar, for the last two years. I teach note reading and music fundamentals as part of my lessons. This has included explanations of the circle of fifths, time signatures, note values, intervals, and key signatures.
Guitar

Guitar

I started teaching beginner guitar lessons in early 2014 as I was enjoying teaching my niece how to play. I have been playing guitar since 2006 and mandolin since 1996, studying with a master musician. I use the Mel Bay Modern Guitar Method along with chord practice and exercises tailored to the student's interests and abilities.

Kelly has been teaching my daughter for only a couple of weeks, but she already learned so much and looks forward to her lessons! Kelly has also been really accommodating with times, and switching if necessary. we really appreciate it!

Great job!

Kelly works with my 14 year old son for guitar lessons. He's not, let's say, enthusiastic about learning the guitar but Kelly works very well with him. She's patient, encouraging and understanding.

Knowledgeable, patient, and experienced tutor.

After a few questions Kelly went into the lesson right at my daughters level. Since my daughters level was that this was the first time she had held a guitar that was great! My daughter said that she loved her class with Kelly and felt motivated by Kelly's positive style of teaching. She left the session excited and wanting to learn more about guitar.
