Mission Statement & Experience
My mission is to provide lessons of the highest quality to students of all ages and backgrounds. Lessons encourage, inspire, and develop each student’s innate creativity. Self-reliance is at the core of the lessons, equipping students with the confidence, knowledge, and wisdom to learn from themselves.
Since 1992, I have helped students achieve and surpass their musical goals. I offer well-organized lessons, drawing from my vast teaching experience spans every academic setting from elementary school to university. Saving students time and optimizing their learning process are two of the greatest benefits I offer.
Red Note Press publishes seven of my books; these include the revolutionary series A Guitarist’s Guide.
A basic summary of my background and lessons:
Over 30 years of teaching and performing experience
PhD, MA, and BA (Musicology and Guitar Performance)
All levels and styles
Ages 4 and up
Featured Student Review
“I don’t have enough words to say that describe my gratitude for Seth’s teaching in my life. Seth taught me for many years... He planted seeds that would later bloom as I began to study music in college.
Seth is a fantastic teacher: I was always provided with enough fundamentals to do the heavy lifting required to progress, encouraged to explore my own musical tastes and learn songs I loved, and was always taught with a patience and understanding support that gave me the confidence.
His teaching translated into much more than technical proficiency and music theory. Seth taught me what it means to have music as a companion in my life and the tools to discover what that looks like for me.
I highly recommend his teaching to people of all ages and styles; he is truly a once-in-a-lifetime teacher.”
