"Ravi Mama was a great tutor whose calm teaching style made even difficult concepts easy to understand. His deep knowledge made it feel like he knew the answer to every question, and his "try and learn from mistakes" approach helped build my confidence and problem-solving skills while mastering the basics.

A DC area native, I was initially introduced to music, though somewhat reluctantly, through enrollment in the church choir at the age of four; however, I quickly grew to love it. I first experienced the guitar while living in Hong Kong when my third-grade teacher would play for them everyday at the end of school. I began taking lessons while living in Hong Kong and continued when I moved back to Washington DC. I have been playing the guitar for over 25 years and teaching for over 15. While my foundation is deeply rooted in the classical tradition, I enjoy teaching a variety of styles. My passion is to empower others to find their voice through the guitar, no matter their level of experience.
