Take guitar lessons with a Berklee graduate and learn exactly what you want, at your own pace.

I'm Preston Lydotes – I'm a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and teacher from Nashville, TN. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree from Berklee College of Music in fall 2024, graduating Summa Cum Laude with a dual major in Songwriting and Independent Recording & Production, and a minor in The Business of Live Music. I have 7+ years of guitar, bass, and piano training – specializing in pop, rock, folk, and R&B. In my lessons, you'll learn strumming and picking warmups, chord progressions, scales, and songs that are tailored exactly to what you'd like to learn. My lessons include music theory for those who are curious and confidence-building for those who are looking to take the big stage! In addition to teaching, I'm an active performer and recording artist, having played stages across the East Coast both solo and with a band. I regularly release original music and, in 2025, I was honored as a recipient of Portsmouth Music Hall’s Emerging Artist Award and a three-time New England Music Award nominee. I'm passionate about creating a supportive, fun, and motivating learning environment where students feel empowered to sing and play with confidence, develop healthy technique, and unlock their full artistic potential—no matter their experience level.
