Learning Music Should Be Enjoyable #
Whether you’re curious about picking up an instrument, returning to music after time away, or just want to play some songs for yourself - online lessons offer a wonderfully convenient way to explore music from the comfort of your own home.
I’m Dot Rose, and I’ve been teaching guitar, ukulele, banjo, bass, and more for over two decades through video chat. My students are everywhere from total beginners to working professionals, kids to retirees - all learning at their own pace, in their own space.

“Dot is the consummate holistic teacher. In all aspects of their approach their skill, thoughtfulness, and intentionality shine through clearly. I’ve found that not only am I getting better at playing, I’m having more fun more consistently as well.” — Pablo C., Philadelphia, PA

About Me #
I’m Dot Rose, a musician and teacher based in Philadelphia. For over 20 years, I’ve been helping people explore music in ways that work for them - whether that’s casual strumming, deep dives into technique, or anywhere in between.
I’ve performed professionally since 2000, won a Best of Philly award, and been featured on ABC, NBC, PBS, and NPR. But what I love most is teaching - helping people discover the joy of making music, at whatever level feels right for them.
Performance credentials: Best of Philly Winner, featured on ABC, NBC, PBS, NPR
