Welcome

Welcome to my site devoted to the art of playing and teaching the classical guitar. Inside you will find how to arrange to study with one of Metro Detroit’s finest guitar instructor (studio in Farmington Hills, MI), find out how to hire a live classical guitarist for your upcoming social gathering, and you’ll discover great music from award winning recordings produced by talent living right here in southeastern Michigan.

Steven has been serving the Detroit and Windsor areas professionally with live guitar entertainment for over seventeen years. He has been heard at many of metro Detroit’s finest concert venues including The Vivace Series at the Birmingham Temple, The Detroit Institute of Arts, and Assumption University Chapel. He is also frequently heard entertaining at The Meadow Brook Mansion, The Grosse Pointe War Memorial and The Henry Ford. He is a member of the award winning Dearing Concert Duo, a voice and classical guitar duet that has toured extensively throughout the US, Canada and Europe.

Steven has been teaching guitar for over 25 years, serving on music faculty at The University of Windsor and Macomb Community College. Many of his current and former students are themselves fine guitar players and guitar instructors at music schools throughout Canada and the US. His teaching philosophy is based on conservatory music fundamentals, including music reading, music theory, ear training and guitar technique.

If you have been playing guitar for a while and find yourself pondering these questions:

Why am I stuck/How do I get over the next hurdle?
I've always wanted to read music fluidly
I feel limited in my technique
My tone is inconsistent
I wish I understood music theory
I wish I could improvise

Maybe it’s time to try taking lessons with an educated performer.

Lesson are weekly. Cost is $40 per half hour, paid monthly in advance. Most students take forty-five minute or one hour guitar lessons.

Steven’s studio is located in Farmington Hills on the border of Northville, Novi and Livonia Michigan, just off M5.
