About Tess
I’m a guitar teacher with over 6 years of experience and a Bachelor of Music Education with a focus on guitar. I’m passionate about helping students express their emotions through music while building a strong technical foundation. My lessons combine solid technique, music theory, and practical fluency across the fretboard. I believe that playing guitar is not just about hitting the right notes, but about telling a story with your instrument. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, I tailor my teaching to your unique goals and musical interests. We work on developing your skills step by step, making sure you feel confident and connected to the music. In my lessons, I focus on finger strength, chord progressions, scales, and improvisation, all while encouraging emotional expression. I also teach music theory in a way that’s easy to understand and directly applicable to playing. My goal is to help you become a well-rounded guitarist who can play with feeling and technical skill. I love seeing students grow and find their own voice on the guitar. Together, we’ll explore different styles and techniques to keep your learning exciting and rewarding. Let’s make music that speaks from the heart!

My teaching approach combines practical guitar skills with a deep understanding of music history and cultural influences. I help students explore how different genres and traditions shape modern guitar playing. Lessons include learning chord progressions, rhythms, and techniques rooted in styles like blues and worship music. I support learners who want to connect with the history behind their favorite sounds, making playing more meaningful and inspiring. We study the origins of songs and how cultural backgrounds influence guitar styles. This approach helps students develop their own voice while respecting tradition. Lessons focus on technique, ear training, and improvisation, balanced with musical storytelling. I encourage students to explore different genres and find their unique style. Practice is supported with clear explanations and engaging activities. Whether you want to lead worship or dive into blues, I tailor lessons to your goals and skill level. My goal is to help you grow as a guitarist and musician, feeling confident and connected to the music you play. Learning guitar becomes both rewarding and fun.
