About Kevin
With over 25 years of teaching experience and a master’s degree in classical guitar performance from the University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music, I bring a deep and personal understanding of what it takes to grow as a guitarist. I’ve spent over two decades teaching music everywhere from formal college classrooms to quiet living rooms — working with kids, teens, adults, and seniors alike.
But what matters most isn’t just where I’ve studied or taught — it’s how I help students connect with music in a way that’s meaningful to them.
Whether you’re 8 or 80, learning your first chord or picking the guitar back up after years away, I’m here to support your musical journey with energy, patience, and a personalized plan.
I’ll help you — or your child — build the skills and confidence to play the music you love, one step at a time.
See What You Can Achieve
This is where a love for music can take you.
The piece you just heard reflects the kind of progress many of my students achieve within their first couple of years of lessons. Everyone learns at their own pace — but with the right mindset, consistent effort, and the right guidance, music like this is well within reach.
I offer private guitar lessons for all ages and levels — from complete beginners to advancing players.
Lessons are available:
-
In-person at Willis Music (Kenwood) and in my main studio located in St. Bernard, Ohio
-
Online through a secure, easy-to-use platform
