With a focus on acoustic, classical, and bass guitar, I cater to students of all levels, including kids, beginners, intermediates, advanced players, and adults. I leverage tech tools like amp simulators, backing track libraries, and ear training software to enhance lessons both online and offline.

Whether it's mastering basic chords or delving into complex compositions, I provide empathetic guidance to foster technical skills, artistry, and creativity. Join me on this musical journey, where we'll not only hone your guitar skills but also kindle a deep passion for music that will resonate with you for years to come. Let's make music together and unlock your full potential as a guitarist!

Hi ! I would like to let you know that Yardley from Downtown Boca is a good teacher who made a guy like me learn acoustic guitar, which I thought was nearly impossible for me. The classes are easy, fun, and I loved them. I would like to recommend her to anyone who would like to start the guitar journey.
