I teach guitar at the Madison Music Foundry. I have taught for many years now and have developed great techniques to teach all types of students. Whether you are a beginner or advanced I can help you achieve the goals you are striving to reach. I will be experimenting with videoing my lessons so my students can go back and remember what was done. Make sure to listen to some of my demo material so you hear where my ability level is at. The cost of lessons are $60 per month. Lessons are once a week for a half hour. Depending on what level your at and what kind of music you like will determine what I teach.

My job is to guide you in the right direction and give you the confidence that you need to play guitar at the highest level you can. Guitar is not some magical thing that only certain people can play, its possible for anyone, and when that happens then it becomes truly magical. Guitar is something you can do for the rest of your life and it is a great release from all the pressures of life! For audio examples please go to http://myspace.com/steveanthes.
