"Hello! My name is Willow. I graduated with a master's degree in classical guitar performance (and a bachelor's in art and performance, summa cum laude, back in the day). I've taught guitar privately since 2002, and spent about ten years teaching subjects like guitar performance and basic music theory (Foundations-level courses and Music Theory II) at a community college. I've also written some music here and there. I really love teaching; helping a student understand something they've been trying to grasp for a while is one of my favorite things. Another of my favorite things: questions! Don't hesitate to ask them when you have them--that's what I'm here for.

Some quick notes:

1) I'm only teaching online right now.

2) I teach both children and adults. I start teaching guitar students at around six years of age. The youngest students will need parental assistance as they learn, both during lesson and during practice time.

3) I'm teaching classical guitar, not acoustic or electric.

I'm open to everything from a single lesson to help with music theory concepts or this one guitar question you've been struggling with to an ongoing tutoring relationship. When writing to me, please be as specific as possible when you describe what you're hoping to learn. You can expect a response within 24 hours (but I'm usually much faster than that).

Scheduling notes:

My Friday availability is for one-off or occasional tutoring sessions rather than ongoing weekly lessons--I'm not available every Friday, unfortunately. Sometimes I'll have times available that aren't listed, also, so if you'd like a single lesson and don't see a matching time listed, please don't hesitate to write.

Name notes:

You might notice that the reviews my students were kind enough to write for me call me Rachel. Rachel is my first name, and Willow is my middle name. I initially created my account here under Rachel because it's front and center on my ID, but have since changed my display name to the one I most often go by. You can just call me Willow. :)" less...
