Guitar & Multi-Instrument Learning #
“I have been studying guitar with Dot once a week for the last six months. I am a professional musician, so I am picky about my teachers. Dot’s teaching is tailored to my specific goals and strengths. I have learned quite a bit from Dot about reducing tension, and this helps me in my singing and violin playing as well as with guitar.”
— Eitan K., Boulder, CO
Ukulele & Arranging #
“I have been receiving lessons from Dot for about 15 months in order to make my own ukulele arrangements of favorite songs. I feel lucky to get private instruction from them! I especially like their willingness to follow my interests in a very individualized way, the emphasis on making music joyful, and their deep knowledge of music theory and technique.”
— Joshua G., Philadelphia, PA
“Dot took my ill-formed New Years resolution to learn to play the Ukulele and helped me chart a path – assisting me in buying an instrument, working through basic mechanics, coaching me on how to practice, offering tons of encouragement, and sprinkling music theory along the way.”
— John C., Philadelphia, PA
Teaching Style & Approach #
“Dot is the consummate holistic teacher. In all aspects of their approach their skill, thoughtfulness, and intentionality shine through clearly. […] Dot knows their stuff, not just musically, but also pedagogically, and favors a student driven approach to learning - 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
