Private Lessons & Coaches in Greenwood, IN

I began my guitar journey at the very end of 1989, learning from a Mel Bay book before starting formal lessons. Over the years, I've explored rock, blues, jazz, fingerstyle, and classical guitar. In 2001, I completed my undergraduate studies with a minor in music, and although I majored in computer science, I found myself teaching guitar during a downturn in the tech industry. Inspired by a faculty recital at Berklee College of Music in 2002, I pursued an advanced degree in music, earning a Master of Music degree from Butler University in 2006. During my graduate studies, I also taught guitar at Ball State University as a graduate assistant in the Doctor of Arts program. I've lectured on the history of guitar, composed music for various instruments, performed nationwide, and taught hundreds of students across all guitar styles.

I've played soccer - mostly in the UK - for more than 35 years. At a high-level and also for fun. Recently I've coached school teams in the UK and even more recently - since moving to Indiana - coached Rec soccer youth teams and indoor soccer youth teams. I try to ensure soccer training is always fun and nearly always with a ball. I'm a huge advocate of team play and "pass and move".

I've been playing competitive golf since I was 7 years old and had a decorated high school career as a 2-year captain, 4-time sectional champion, and a 2-time state finalist with top-20 finishes. I continued my journey at the Division I level at IUPUI (now IU Indianapolis), where I earned a Horizon League Championship ring, an NCAA Regional Championship appearance, and set the all-time record for most tournament rounds competed, along with 10 top-10 finishes. I've been coaching kids' summer camps at a local country club for the past three years and started giving private lessons there a year ago.

Hi there! I’m Sophia Guyer, and I’ve dedicated 15 years to swimming, including several competitive years at the Division 1 level. I have a unique passion for technique, and I firmly believe in the mantra “perfect practice makes perfect.” To me, quality in training is far more important than just going through the motions. During my high school career, I broke a few records and made my mark by ranking among the top 10 times in history at my Division 1 college. While I’m new to swim instructing, I’m not new to teaching—I’ve enjoyed helping many of my teammates refine their techniques over the years. As I embark on my journey as a swim instructor, I’m excited to inspire others and help swimmers of all levels achieve their goals through focused skill improvement and my enthusiasm for the sport. I truly believe that with dedication and the right mindset, anyone can achieve greatness in the pool!
