Professional guitarist and graduate of Oberlin Conservatory teaches guitar lessons for all levels!

Emmett took my playing and knowledge to a completely different level. He would make personalized lesson plans and he would thoroughly break down what was going on in a certain piece of music and then find other separate pieces that shared similarities with what he was teaching. I like his method of teaching by using actual music and it makes the learning process much easier once you start to see all the similarities between different pieces of music.

Emmet has upped my skills in my guitar technique and approach to internalizing new concepts. He is willing to adapt to any level of player and take on challenges as they come.

I’ve been taking guitar lessons with Emmett for 6 months and it’s been the best decision I’ve made in a while! I decided to take lessons with him to work on accompanying myself while singing and to deepen my understanding of jazz harmony and it’s been an amazing experience. He is able to take complicated concepts and make them easy to understand. My love for playing has grown because of how encouraging and patient he is. Emmett keeps the lessons interesting and fun while maintaining a professional environment. I was only planning to take lessons for 6 months but I just scheduled lessons for the rest of the year because I’ve enjoyed it so much! Definitely recommend Emmett to anyone looking to improve their guitar skills whether you’re at a beginner, intermediate or advanced level.

I am writing with great enthusiasm to recommend Emmett, an exceptional music teacher with a specialization in jazz, who possesses a profound ability to inspire and educate students across a variety of musical genres. Emmett’s dedication to music education, combined with his remarkable talent and versatility as a musician, makes him an invaluable asset to any student looking to explore and grow their musical abilities.
Emmett’s knowledge of music theory and instrumental proficiency is outstanding, but it is his passion for jazz and the breadth of his genre expertise that truly sets him apart. He not only imparts technical skills but also instills an appreciation for the rich history and emotional depth of music, encouraging students to develop their unique voice and style.
His teaching methodology is both innovative and adaptable, catering to the individual needs and learning styles of his students. Emmett creates a learning environment that is not only challenging and informative but also incredibly supportive and motivating. He has a unique ability to connect with students, fostering a sense of trust and confidence that encourages them to step out of their comfort zones, experiment, and explore new musical territories.
Moreover, Emmett’s performances and workshops are a testament to his mastery and love for music. His enthusiasm is contagious, and he serves as a profound inspiration to his students, who see in him both a mentor and a role model. His contributions to the musical community and his commitment to excellence in music education have been consistently recognized by peers, students, and parents alike.
For anyone looking to deepen their musical knowledge, refine their technique, and explore the vibrant world of jazz and beyond, I cannot recommend Emmett highly enough. He is not just a teacher but a guide to the vast, exhilarating landscape of music. His lessons are more than educational experiences; they are transformative journeys that encourage creativity, discipline, and a lifelong love of music.
