“Ava’s gentle way of teaching, coupled with laughter and fun, evokes a sense of calm that immediately put you at ease in her lessons. Since starting with her I have seen a significant improvement in my technique, especially in my picking and strumming, a boost in confidence, but more importantly it has reignited my love for creating music.

I can not recommend Ava enough to anyone looking to dive into guitar at any level. She meets you where you’re at, challenges you when you need it and creates a space where you can explore what you’re capable of.” — Naomi H

“As a first time guitar player, Ava has made learning so fun and enjoyable. She has encouraged me the entire process and made me feel comfortable learning something outside of my comfort zone. I look forward to meeting with her each week to learn something new. I cannot recommend Ava enough as a guitar instructor. I would not be where I am in my guitar journey without her.” — Hanna W

I love teaching music.

I think of learning in three facets: mind, body, and spirit. The mind processes crystalized information— music theory and how it applies to your instrument. The body cultivates motor skills— strong technique and ease of articulation. The spirit is the inspiration to play.
