Experienced tutor in Guitar in Alpine, Marvin offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

He’s kind and patient and encouraging.
He tries to find music to work on that you would enjoy.

Marvin is patient, caring, and a great teacher. My girls have loved taking guitar lessons from him and have learned a lot. He is great to work with. I would highly recommend him.

Marvin keeps me growing as a guitar player even when my very full life makes it hard to practice all of the time. If I need something a little easier to manage, he starts me on an easier song. If I'm ready for a real challenge, he pushes me to do something more difficult that he knows fits me. Even when work commitments have inundated my life, he keeps lessons creative, positive, and tailored to where I am and where I am ready to go. I'm not quitting anytime soon. 🙂 Thanks, Marvin! You're pretty great!

Marvin has a great approach and perspective as a teacher. He has years of experience and is able to simplify and make lessons accessible. He’ll meet you at your level and help you figure out how to get to the next.

He has a great attitude, extensive knowledge of technique, he was a pleasure to work with.

Personable, experienced and positive.

He’s really nice and good at making music easy to understand. He teaches you how to play songs really fast. Even after my first lesson I was playing a real song!

Marvin's decades of experience helped take me from never playing guitar, to being able to play well in only 12 weeks. He is very flexible with his methods and caters to my individual needs. He has helped me learn what I need to succeed. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Marvin is a skilled and patient teacher.

Marvin makes you feel like you are his only student, and your progress makes his day! He seems to cater his approach to your unique talents. And as a cherry on top, he's a great man -- and you feel lucky to spend 30 minutes with him.

Marvin taught my daughter from 8-12 YO. He is an amazing teacher and would highly recommend him to anybody for guitar lessons!

Marvin does everything well but I was particularly impressed with how well he taught my daughter at 8-9 YO. I’m sure had my daughter not given up guitar—he would have been excellent teaching advanced learning too.

When my son gets older, we will definitely be calling Marvin again!

He teaches very well!! He knows his stuff and does a good job helping you learn so much.

I've played guitar for 25 years. He immediately helped up my game. He knows theory inside and out. Each week he teaches me new things and then helps me with songs that I want to learn. He'll work every angle there is to help you learn.
