About Ray
You get more than a guitar teacher; you get a music mentor who is deeply invested in every student’s success; both as a musicians and human being. I make myself available between lessons to provide students more time and resources to help ensure their success. Lessons also include a pre- and post-lesson email checking in on progress and to send lesson overviews.
I enjoy on getting to know each student and who they are as a person, their individual goals, abilities, and lifestyles. Then I tailor the best and most effective lesson experience for them. My greatest joy is to see a student's success and growth as a musician.
I was hired after college to work with grade school students in one-on-one and group lessons. I loved it and haven't stopped.
Bachelor of Arts, University of MN, Minneapolis.
15+ years of teaching hundreds of students of all ages, abilities, and from all backgrounds.

First I want to know what truly inspires the student to take guitar lessons. Every student is different so, it's really important to create a curriculum that's tailored to their goals, natural abilities/talent, and lifestyles. By showing the best path forward from the very start, together we can build greater self-confidence, motivation, and results to acheive success.
From pre-schoolers, K-12, special education, college-level, adults, and retirees of every demographic and background.
Ask yourself "what would my absolute ideal guitar teacher be like? Then find that teacher. One who really understands who you are and the best methods that fit you personally.
Find a teacher who can teach all styles, levels, and knows how to focus on every student as if they were the only one being taught.

Ray is a true professional and artist. And a skilled instructor! He has taught me a great deal about music and is extremely generous with his knowledge and time. I recommend Ray!
Ray knows his music and can teach to quite an advanced student but he also knows how to simplify things and play and teach very tasty, not too difficult licks.
Very informative, thorough, and easy to get along with.
Besides the fact that Ray is a wonderful instructor, the fact that was most important to me was that he was patient. His calm and patience made me feel comfortable to make mistakes and learn from them. It was a wonderful experience and I hope to get some more lessons soon!
Great teacher!! Ray is very patient and funny. I came here and I've learnt a lot from him. He is very professional, you will enjoy your learning with him!
Mr Ray Gehring is one of the best musicians and teachers I know. He had so much patience with me and made me love my guitar even more!! I’m glad I found him.
Ray was my teacher at Electric and Acoustic Guitar instruction NYC, and he was very very patient with me and made both the theory and the execution easy to grasp.
