About Daniel

Ever since I can remember, music has been the beginning and the end in my life to find peace like no other, endless layers of self discovery to our human nature as well as an the genuine, meaningful connections to the most incredible people and experiences Iโ€™ve been lucky enough to live through. Those connections can be found in all kinds of ways, different stages in our journey which compose the song of our day to day. Iโ€™ve found that through sharing and teaching all aspects of it, you get back ten-fold of what you ever give and also find gems along the way which you never thought were out there. Sharing my passion and perspective of the unbelievable world of music is a huge privilege I have, itโ€™s a true blessing which I take to heart as a responsibility for our future generation of musicians so letโ€™s explore some of it together!

About Kianna

Hi, I'm Ki. I'm so glad that you've decided to learn the guitar! With each lesson, I pull from my 13 years of professional experience to equip students with what they need to build confidence in their guitar playing. Lessons are tailored to you and include theory, technique, and learning popular songs. If interested, we can even cover the basics of home recording and songwriting. Book your lesson now and letโ€™s get started together :) I offer tailored lessons for beginner to intermediate learners, blending technical skill with creative exploration.

What students say...

"I liked that every step is broken down and that she has the patience to work with me before moving on. I really enjoy the cultural aspect of the lessons she gives about performing, and the different styles of music sheโ€™s experienced in. Her lessons have helped me apply even very basic knowledge to challenging situations.

About Matt

Hey! Iโ€™m Matt, a guitarist with 20+ years of playing experience and a passion for helping people tap into their creativity through music. Iโ€™ve played everything from punk and post-hardcore to blues and ambient experimental, and I love tailoring lessons to what gets you excited to pick up the guitar. Whether youโ€™re brand new or want to break out of a plateau, I focus on real-world playing, creativity, and building confidence โ€” not just dry theory and drills. Weโ€™ll work on songs, techniques, and sounds that resonate with your style and goals. Iโ€™m currently based in Chicago and offer lessons for teens and adults, both in-person and virtual. Letโ€™s make music.
