Ethan - Know your guitar teacher

Hi! I’m Ethan, a guitarist, performer, and teacher with a degree from Berklee College of Music. I’ve played major venues like Mercury Lounge in NYC with my band, The Wizard & The Wize, and have years of experience in performance, songwriting, and music education. My approach blends solid technique with creativity, mindfulness, and spiritual depth. I integrate practices like Qigong and breathwork into my teaching to help students not only improve technically but also connect more deeply with their instrument, body, and inner voice. Whether you're a beginner or a more advanced player, I tailor each lesson to your goals—offering guidance in guitar, songwriting, improvisation, and self-expression. Music is more than notes—it's a path to presence, confidence, and personal growth. I’m here to support your journey, wherever it begins.

Guitar lessons quick guide

My teaching method is rooted in the belief that every student has a unique voice and learning style. I utilize a variety of tools and resources to help you on your musical journey. I create a personalized, supportive environment that encourages both technical growth and creative expression. Lessons combine clear instruction in theory, technique, and rhythm with space for improvisation, songwriting, and exploration. I also incorporate breath work, posture, and energetic movement to help students release tension and develop stage presence. Whether you prefer structured goals or a more intuitive, flow-based approach, I adapt to what best serves your progress. I aim to help students build confidence, deepen their connection to their instrument, and stay inspired long-term. Every session is about more than just learning guitar—it’s about unlocking musical potential in body, mind, and spirit.
