Ways to Learn Music (Online + Washington, DC)
How I can help:
- Questions? Just ask me and I’ll try to give you an online answer. Here’s some examples Creating Diatonic Jazz Chords (and Melodies) from Major Scales. And Memorizing Classical (Guitar) Music: 24 Ideas for Deeper Mastery.
- Private and group lessons/coaching in Adams Morgan/Mount Pleasant, Washington, DC.
- Online video/email correspondence lessons
- Skype-style lessons

- I always recommend (to myself as well) to play along with music you love, whenever you get the chance. It may not “work” at first, so be prepared to be patient. But eventually it’s great!

- Good technique + stay relaxed
