Experienced tutor in Guitar in Gig Harbor, Jay offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Jay was a wonderful teacher. I connected with Jay and felt very comfortable with him on my first lesson. I was a beginner when I started with Jay. I had one other teacher before Jay and almost quit because I was not enjoying my lessons. Jay made it fun and easy start to play the guitar. He was so much fun to learn from. He let me pick my songs.

My 13 year old son started his first guitar lessons with Jay in September 2016. Within 5 month my son made a huge progress and was experimenting with different genres of music. Jay is a fantastic teacher with great enthusiasm and love of music that he passes on to his students.
It was sad to loose Jay as an instructor because of his relocation to a different city. We wish him the best of everything.
I feel very fortunate that Jay was my son's first guitar instructor.

I think he a great teacher. He is very good at guitar. He makes sure I understand everything he is teaching me.

Jay is an experienced and hard-working teacher. He taught me only for one year, but I learned a lot in that year. He rearranges songs to make them more educational and more exciting. I also had a lot of fun singing along with Jay while learning to play guitar. I really enjoyed having Jay as my teacher and I highly recommend him as your pro guitar teacher.

Jay is a wonderful teacher and performer. His understanding of guitar, his patience, kindness, musical ability, and friendly personality make him a great fit for students of all ages and ranges. He taught two of our sons ( one classical and one more modern music). If he hadn't made the decision to move cross country, we would be with him still! We highly recommend him!

Jay is a phenomenal guitar teacher. He is exceptionally kind, caring, knowledgeable, and patient. Very respectful, relaxing and enjoyable to learn from, it is nothing short of an absolute pleasure to know and work with him. He is exceedingly competent, both in teaching method as well as guitar performance itself; he is a brilliant musician and continues to absolutely blow me away with his talent. I enjoyed every moment spent under his teaching and learned so much, so quickly. I would recommend Jay to anyone and everyone!

Jay is an awesome teacher. He teaches you how to play correctly the first time so you don't develop bad habits that need to be fixed and if you're struggling with a concept, he always knows how to fix it. He also has a great energy when he teaches which makes learning a joy. Highly recommend him to anybody!
