About Ian
I officially started teaching in a small music store in my home town over 25 years ago (I had already been playing and studying music rigorously for a decade at that point). I taught there for about 6 years with a roster of about 50 weekly students. In 2006 I decided to open an all ages music venue for my students to play in bands and whoever else wanted to come through. I ran that over the next 9 years while I kept teaching on the side. I also had several bands of my own and started and ran a recording studio and record label. In 2015, I closed the venue down (long story, but we had a great run) and went back to just teaching. I officially started teaching virtually in 2018 which gave me the opportunity to connect with students all over the world

No two lessons are the same. However, I do pride myself on always being organized and having a plan. In general, most lessons will be a tri-force: technique, theory, and then both applied to songs of your choosing. And we always end with an exact list of things for you to do until the next lesson

Perfect! I’ve been taking virtual lessons with Ian for over 2 years now and he has been fantastic. He worked with me on exactly what I wanted to get out guitar playing and built the lessons around me. He is extremely knowledgeable and helps to explain new topics in a digestible way, makes it fun to learn, and has made me a much better player. I’m 30 and play for a hobby, and it has become even more fun for me with Ian as a teacher. I would recommend Ian for all ages. If and when my kids are interested in playing, I’ll be signing them up with Ian!
- Thanks Matt! It's been awesome seeing your musical evolution :) Definitely always looking forward to what's next!Ian's response :
Perfect! Ian's great! He helps you become the guitar player YOU want to be as he patiently guides you towards what you need to do to improve. Never have I felt judged by him, as he clearly understands the struggles one might face in their musical journey. Despite his many years of experience, he's very humble and will empathize with you every step of the way.
- Thanks Ivan :) Appreciate the awesome review. Happy to see you thriving in our lessonsIan's response :
Perfect! My daughter was hesitant to do virtual classes, but Ian has been fabulous! I bought her lessons for Christmas and now she's working more instructions into her budget. I'm also planning to purchase guitar lessons in the future. We will definitely continue using Ian's services!
- Glad you guys gave virtual a chance. Great seeing her get better and better :)Ian's response :
Perfect! Ian is a fabulous instructor. I hired him in November, in a panic to learn a song to play for my family as a surprise by Christmas - he got me started right away and my family was surprised and impressed! He’s taught me much more since then with his well thought out lesson plans. I love the ease and convenience of online classes as well as his flexibility. I highly recommend Ian for any beginner, such as myself.
Perfect! Ian is awesome! Excellent instructor! It's obvious he enjoys teaching and is excellent at it. My ukulele skills have increased significantly since working with Ian. I strongly recommend Ian for anyone looking to learn or advance their ukulele skills.
Perfect! My three kids (7yrs, 7yrs, 9yrs) have been taking ukelele lessons with Ian for about 9 months now and love it. He is extremely reliable, timely and organized. We have had both in-person and online lessons with Ian and would definitely recommend him. It's great to see my kids picking up an instrument on their own now, for fun. :)
Perfect! Ian is a wonderful teacher. He knows his subject and just as important how to impart that knowledge to his student. He has also been very patient with me as I have some health issues that sometimes gets in the way, Ian is understanding and empathetic (more good qualities for a teacher). I’m enjoying my lessons and see real progress since coming under his tutelage. 5 stars, no doubt about it!
Perfect! Ian is so patient with my seven year old son. He challenges him on muical theory and has a repertoire that my son can easily grasp and maintain. We love Ian’s “studio”, especially the chair in the shape of a hand! Ian is a cool dude, and we are very happy with the service we’ve been provided.
Perfect! He is very knowledgeable! He teaches at a great speed.

I’ve been taking guitar lessons with Ian for a few months now, and I love the steady progress that I’ve been making. Ian is very methodical in his 1-on-1 sessions, and he doesn’t let me move on until I’ve mastered a prior lesson. I like how he emphasizes timing and music theory. I also like how he balances teaching songs that I want to play while also learning from lesson books and other material. I started off doing his in-home lessons. However, due to the pandemic I switched to his virtual offerings, and I have to say that the transition has been mostly seamless. I find that he is still very observant and catches any subtle mistakes that I make while playing. In the past I’ve taken group guitar lessons elsewhere, and while fun, I find that I wasn’t truly learning or seeing significant improvement at the pace that I wanted. I already see significant improvements over the past few months of working with Ian, and I’d highly recommend Ian as a guitar teacher to anyone interested in learning to play and having fun while doing it.
It is very apparent that he is a very qualified and knowledgeable instructor. He is very patient and is able to work with most schedules. If anyone is looking to learn, I strongly recommend Ian!
Fun and suited to my speed of learning

Superprof doesn't let me put the option for 45 min lessons, but most of my students actual do 45 min lessons and it's what I generally suggest. Those are $55/week
If the student is 8 or younger, we can also to 30 min lessons for $40/week. But if they are above the age of 9, no. 30 min lessons are too short for anyone 9+ and you will be wasting time and money to do so.
Also, I do NOT offer lessons every other week. Again, those are also a waste of time. Once a week lessons sometimes seems too long of an interval to me, but as long as you're practicing, it works
