I love guitar. It brings me endless joy, and so does helping people discover their passion for the instrument. I've been playing for over 15 years and have taught every age range and skill level.
As a former high school teacher, I understand that everyone learns differently. I will work with you to meet you where you're at, find your style, perfect your technique, and give you the tools you need to grow.

FAQ
FAQ
What age ranges do you teach?
What age ranges do you teach?
I teach all age ranges. However, if the student is a child, it's important to me that they are choosing to learn the instrument.
Do you travel or teach online?
Do you travel or teach online?
Absolutely! I offer lessons in person at the student's home or through Google Meet. If the student lives more than 20 minutes away from Foster City, we can discuss travel fees.
What do I need to start learning?
What do I need to start learning?
The student must have their own guitar on which they can practice. If the student wants to play electric guitar, I highly recommend a small practice amp in addition to the guitar. I am happy to offer personalized recommendations for guitars and equipment at every price point.
Can you teach bass?
Can you teach bass?
While guitar is my primary instrument, I am happy to teach bass. Contrary to what you might hear, it is not just a bigger guitar; I will teach you the different musical role it fulfills as well as how the technique differs from guitar.

About Me
About Me
Hello! My name is Monroe. I have been playing guitar for over 15 years. I play all around the Bay Area with bands of all different styles, though progressive rock/metal is what tends to come out of my fingers if you hand me a guitar and tell me to play. I taught high school for three years before changing careers, but I still love teaching and helping people on their learning journeys.
When I'm not playing guitar, I'm often hanging out with my wife and cat, tinkering with electronics, or going on a walk.
