Dakota is currently available for one-on-one guitar instruction in-person locally in the Bay Area or worldwide via zoom.<\/p>
For most of my students, lessons focus on the fundamentals of rock and pop guitar, with an emphasis on developing well rounded and independent musicians, capable of writing, playing, and improvising by ear. My broad experience working with youth in classroom, small group, and one-on one settings has taught me that learning happens best when students are having fun and are motivated to practice. Therefore, I prioritize learning techniques and theory through well-known songs that are fun to play, and allow each student’s passions and curiosities to drive individualized lesson planning tailored just for them.<\/p>
