A Better Fit From the Start

The private in-person scheduling link is shared after the introductory conversation.

New in-person students first complete a brief introductory conversation. If the studio and schedule are a good fit, Garrett will send a private link to view available in-person lesson times.

What should I bring?

Bring your guitar and any music, notes, or materials you are currently working on. Garrett can confirm additional details before the first lesson.

Are in-person lessons suitable for beginners?

Yes. Lessons are adapted to your current experience, musical interests, and goals, whether you are beginning or have played for years.

What happens between lessons?
