Best 18 coaches for Guitar lessons near San Diego, CA

Hi! I have been playing guitar for over 11 years and teaching music privately for three. I received my Bachelor’s of Music in Music Education from San Diego State University in 2022, emphasizing in Classical Guitar. I first started taking private lessons myself in elementary school, for piano and voice. Music has always been a part of my life and education, from taking choir to general music courses. I currently teach at two different lesson studios in San Diego, as well as in home private lessons. I have taught both one-on-one and group classes, and have taught students as young as 4 and others well into adulthood. I currently teach beginner and intermediate levels for guitar, piano, ukulele, and bass. I also have experience playing and teaching classical, pop, rock, and folk music. Every lesson is tailored to the individual student’s goals and learning style. However, I like to make sure each student learns all the fundamentals and receives a strong foundation that can be applied to any style or genre they want to learn.This can include rhythm exercises, scales, basic music theory, and more. For example, for guitar this could look like learning the notes on the fretboard or practicing switching between chords in time. I look forward to hearing from you and starting our first lesson! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I love playing all types of music, and sharing my passion is so rewarding. I hope to encourage aspiring musicians to continue working hard!

Music has always been my greatest passion, and for the past 15 years, I've been sharing that passion as a guitar instructor. As a recording artist, I bring real-world experience and a deep understanding of music theory to every lesson, guiding students of all levels to reach their full potential.

San Diego guitarist, kinesiology graduate, and live-show musician who turns bedroom players into confident performers. Fourteen years on the fretboard and a degree in human movement give me a rare mix of musical fluency and injury-smart technique. I've taught everyone from absolute beginners to gig-ready teens and adults, weaving song-first fun with science-based mechanics so students progress fast and play with the correct pain-free technique. Offstage I'm a gear nerd, music snob, and sworn enemy of tendonitis; onstage I play sets that keep dance floors honest. I help you build clear roadmaps—complete with custom lesson documents, slow-mo video feedback, and student jams that make guitar goals feel less like homework.
