Student Testimonials - Guitar & Ukulele Lessons
I’m proud of my students and their progress in online guitar and ukulele lessons. Here are a few kind words from students and parents who’ve shared their experience learning with me.
From parents
Alex, we are so happy we found you! You are such a talented teacher and our son enjoys his weekly guitar classes. You are able to keep his interest by learning the songs that he knows and wants to play. That's the secret why he willingly practice every evening too :)
very clever approach!
Kate Jameson
I highly recommend Alex to anyone interested in learning guitar! He creates such an encouraging and welcoming environment for my son, Jeffrey, which helps him focus and truly enjoy his lessons. Alex keeps track of homework, shares fun musical facts, and always stays patient - making each class a wonderful experience. Thank you, Alex!
Tamina (Jeffrey's Mom)
My 8-year-old son started guitar lessons with Alex online, and I was pleasantly surprised by how effective and fun it is! He learned melodies quickly, even as a complete beginner, and always looks forward to each class. Alex is reliable, patient, and makes learning enjoyable. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend my online guitar teacher, Alex! He tailors each lesson to my interests, helping me learn the songs I love at my own pace. The online format is super convenient, and he’s always flexible with scheduling. If you’re looking for a patient and skilled teacher - Alex is the real deal!

If you want a good guitar teacher who’s also understanding and knows how to patiently teach, then Alex is the right person! If you want to play a certain song even those that are hard to learn, Alex will find a way for you to learn this song and make it sound the same if not better ! Can’t ask for a better teacher!
About Me
Hi, I’m Alex — an experienced guitar and ukulele teacher with a passion for helping students of all ages enjoy music.
I graduated from the College of Music in 2004 with a major in Guitar Performance/Instruction. While studying, I played in a cover band and wrote some of my own music. After graduation, I continued performing and began teaching guitar at a School of Music, where I helped students develop their skills and confidence.
Today I teach online lessons via Zoom, working with both children (9 and up) and adults of all levels. I truly enjoy seeing my students grow, progress, and find joy in playing guitar or ukulele — watching that confidence appear is the best part of my work.
As a father of two, I understand that every student is unique and learns differently. My approach is patient, personal, and supportive. My goal is to make each lesson effective, enjoyable, and motivating.

My Method
Motivation Through Music
Students learn best when they play music they truly enjoy. I find the songs each student loves and tailor them to their level - this makes learning feel doable, keeps them motivated, and supports steady progress.
Clear Steps & Daily Practice
After each lesson, students receive simple homework: a PDF with notes/tabs or a short video from the class. Daily practice, even a few minutes, leads to real progress.
Consistency That Builds Skill
Weekly lessons help students stay focused, disciplined, and steadily improve their technique. A regular routine makes learning easier and more rewarding.
Daily Hour of Practice
Every day I host a relaxed practice session on Zoom. Students can join for 5 minutes or stay for the full hour. This helps them stay accountable, consistent, and motivated.
