Guitar Lessons
I offer online guitar lessons to students worldwide and in-person classes right in downtown Easton, Pennsylvania.
Lessons cover all styles and are tailored to each individual needs. The inviting studio space is located just steps away from the Easton Public Market, right on Bank Street. At the studio, I deliver private lessons, sessions with groups of 2 or 3 students and a rotating schedule of 8-week classes geared towards a specific topic.

Live Music
Catch me playing original music, jazz, or directing full-on party bands for corporate events and weddings.
Located within driving distance to New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, I do everything from intimate jazz trios to organizing large scale events with my music and business partner David Kahn.
Guitar Recording
At my Easton music studio I use my amp and guitar collection to create unique guitar parts for artists seeking something special on their recording. Nothing is cookie cutter and I will work with you through the whole process.
Collaborations
Musicians of all backgrounds stop by my music recording studio in Easton to record live covers and originals and work on new music.
“I aim to provide kids and adult students from absolute beginners to very advanced players with personalized, world-class guitar lessons minus the drama and egotism you get from many high-level musicians”.

What students are saying
“Keith is just an awesome guy! He moves at a good pace and tailors material to your needs. I respect his ability to stay focused and to make the most of your time.
His lessons come with quality material to practice with and videos of him showing you exactly how to do it. Great teacher for those ready to learn guitar!”
— Parker J.
“Keith delivered such a great first guitar lesson and experience for my 10-year-old son. After a year of begging for a guitar and lessons, we finally gifted him both for his birthday. I was concerned with finding the right instructor for him, primarily because I didn’t want this to be a novel experience, quickly vacated as soon as he realized it will take real effort. Keith got him interested and started a fire in him right out of the gate. My son didn’t know how to hold the guitar before his first lesson. Within the first half-hour, he was holding it, tuning it and strumming the first few notes of a real song. He hasn’t stopped since! Success!!”

“Feel plus technical acumen: these combined qualities are rare in a guitar instructor. Keith has them. Or a guitar instructor has one or the other concomitant with an overblown ego that's a pain to deal with. Keith is not like that...
On a personal note, I feel that the way Keith humbly presents tips and suggestions is great for players at all levels. There was never an instance where I felt stupid after Keith corrected me. He has the social intelligence that is often lacking from teachers in any medium…”
