My name's Patrick, I'm a guitar teacher based near Jessup, MD.
I specialize in teaching rhythm guitar - i.e. what you'll want to know whether your goal is to play in your living room, at your local jam, or take the stage at an open mic. Whether you're just getting started or you already know a few chords, I can help you along your journey.
Most of my teaching experience is with adults, but I'm comfortable working with students of all ages. I teach both in-person in my home studio and over Zoom. I love seeing my students grow and pride myself on creating a learning environment that's both safe and welcoming.
I'm a regular performer and singer/songwriter and have prior teaching experience. I can help you get strumming in any genre. My goal is to get you playing songs as quickly as possible while building usable skills from the ground up. We'll work together on:
• Developing a solid sense of rhythm
• The basics of chords, and the minimum theory you'll want to know
• Singing and playing
• Good practice habits
For students who have a solid understanding of the basics, we can work on:
• Bass runs and other cool details
• Creating feeling with dynamics and different grooves
• Movable chord shapes and modifications to chords (suspended, 7th, Major 7th, etc)
I offer a discount on the first lesson as we look at where you're at and where you'd like to go. Drop me an e-mail today!
