About Joshua

Learning to play the guitar can be very difficult on your own. Youtube videos and books are great! Often, however, not all the pieces seem to connect and you are left struggling and unsure whether you are playing things correctly. My goal as a teacher is to provide you with the knowledge, hands-on assistance, and accountability to help you excel and to achieve your goals! I have over ten years of experience as a professional guitar player, songwriter, and music instructor. I have worked with every age demographic as well as students with various impairments. These include students who are legally blind, those suffering from MS, severe arthritis, and those on the autistic spectrum as well. I am passionate about helping others learn and look forward to helping you!

I have experience working with people with some conditions that might make it difficult to learn the guitar. These include vision impairment, autism, and severe arthritis. I have been able to watch these students overcome these difficulties and succeed and reach their goals! That is one of the most truly awesome and inspiring parts of what I do!

I have a degree in Audio Engineering and Music Production from SFCC. I was also privately tutored for six years by a classical guitar instructor who taught Guitar and Music History at Saint Martin's University in Lacey, WA. I have written and recorded seven albums of my own original music. I have also helped coach worship teams of all ages in local churches and have had a busy gigging and studio musician career.

About the lesson

I have worked with a wide demographic of students, from students as young as 4 to students of 75.

Invest in a teacher who is forward thinking in modern practices but schooled in a classical tradition.

My favorite thing is to be able to see students of mine succeed. I have had three of my students go on to produce full length albums of original material. I am currently coaching many of my guitar students in recording arts and music production as well and am working with several of my students on their original music.

Perfect! Joshua is wonderful. I have tried to play on my own, watching video instructions and could not pull it all together. Joshua is able to inspire while teaching the fundamentals in a fun and progressive way. So glad I took the next step toward learning guitar. Thanks Joshua, Shari

Josh is very down-to-earth and personal about his teachings. He really understood where my faults were and gave instruction to tackle just that. Doesn't overload you with too much, but gives enough just to challenge yourself over the week. Would definitely recommend to others.

Joshua is a natural teacher. I started as a 60-year-old with absolutely no music background or aptitude. Now I can actually play (some). Joshua pushes me, but never embarrasses me. I'm thrilled with how much he has taught me. I highly recommend him.

Joshua has been extremely accommodating of my busy schedule. He has excellent knowledge of guitars and was very helpful in picking out my new guitar. His lessons are straight forward and he answers all my questions clearly and concisely. He goes at a nice pace and has been great to work with. I'd highly recommend him to other people looking to pick up the guitar.

Joshua is a great teacher who has been nothing but patient and kind with my very high energy 10 year old. Joshua teaches my 10 and 13 year olds once a week in our home, under his guidance they have excelled. He’s been flexible and accommodating, I’ve enjoyed working with him. I’d recommend Josh to anyone.

Josh has an amazing teaching style with kids. He takes the time to ensure my son understands the fundamentals, in addition to learning how to play. When my son becomes confused or has trouble with a piece, Josh patiently works with him rather than pressing him to just move on the next piece. This is our second year with Josh and I highly recommend him!!

Joshua has really helped me with my timing and rhythm. His persistence to push me spend more time with my metronome has really opened my eyes to the inportance of solid timing. I highly recommend Joshua to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, encouraging, and patient teacher!

It has been 6 months since I started taking lessons from Joshua. When I contacted Joshua I had very little experience playing guitar. I knew a few chords, but I had difficulty transitioning between them. Fast forward to now, I can transition between chords smoothly and I am really starting to enjoy using the scales he has taught me to improvise! Lessons with Joshua are something I look forward to every week! I can't recommend Joshua enough!

Details

I recommend students take four lessons per month. This consistency is the most effective way to build your skill as a musician as quickly as possible. I have a two-month minimum contract for lessons (eight lessons). You can either choose to pay by the month (four lessons at a time) or pay for the full amount for 2 months. Month by month prices are below. Note that 2 months are required for enrollment.

4 Half Hour Lessons – $200/Month

4 Full Hour Lessons – $400/Month

Tuition for new students is due at the time of the first lesson. For those making monthly payments, tuition is due on the final lesson of each month.

I accept cash, check, and also debit or credit. Please note: for digital transactions, there is a 3% processing fee.
