About Clay
I believe that good instruction teaches not only a skill, but the ability to grow that skill even after the lesson is over. I have played the accoustic guitar for over ten years, with a mixture of taking lessons and self teaching. I know how to break things down and make them understandable and easy to remember. I also play the electric guitar, classical guitar and the piano, giving me a diverse viewpoint of musical theory.
I particularly enjoy introducing guitar to someone who has never played. Watching them grow and seeing the joy that guitar can bring to someone is special to me, and I relate to it heavily. Being able to extend the world of guitar to new people and be one of the reasons someone got into it is very meanigful to me.
I started teaching when I was fifteen, because my friends asked if I would give them proper lessons. After agreeing to it, I realized I had an affinity for it and have been teaching since then.
I have over ten years of experience with accoustic and electric guitars; five years of proper lessons and over five years of self-teaching. I also took several years of piano and piano theory, which transfers nicely over to guitar theory. Finally, I have taken voice lessons and sang in a choir for 3 years, including accompanying the Olympia Chamber Orchestra in concert at Saint John's Episcopal Church.

I like to have a session to assess a new student's skill level and comfort, as well as determin what they want out of the lessons so that I can tailor my lessons to be the most rewarding to each individual student. Whether you want to learn basic theory or fun new fingerpicking techniques, I want to give you the tools to achieve your personal goals.
I have worked with a wide range of students, from students who have never played a guitar before to students that play in a band. Old or young, the only consistent requirement for my students is that they want to learn.
Find a teacher that is honest and down to earth. The teachers that do this because they love music will give you the most growth.
I enjoy seeing past students thrive. I teach a number of skills, not just guitar, so seeing any student of mine thrive and enjoy what they do is incredibly rewarding.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
"Is this a need or a want?"
Understanding the difference is important, and students often must check off a few 'needs' before they can check off the "want." Having the discipline to build the foundation will make the reward much higher quality and last longer.
