About Mara
I teach guitar through an intuitive, song-based approach that connects real-world playing with essential foundational skills. Learning with songs makes practice enjoyable and meaningful, helping you build barre chord mastery, rhythm tracking, and finger independence naturally. Whether you want to dive into blues, pop, folk, or other styles, I tailor lessons to your musical tastes and goals. I focus on developing both technique and expressive playing, so you gain fluency and confidence with every session. My teaching adapts to all kinds of learners—from those eager to explore jazz’s rich improvisational language to players seeking to lead worship with heart and clarity. I guide you through complex chord voicings, rhythmic grooves, and melodic phrasing while nurturing your unique musical voice. Along the way, I emphasize ear training and musicality, helping you internalize rhythms and melodies beyond just notes on the fretboard. No matter your level, I’m committed to supporting your growth by breaking down challenges into manageable steps.

I’m a dedicated guitar tutor with 5 years of teaching experience and a Bachelor of Arts in Music, specializing in Guitar. My approach to teaching is holistic, blending technical skill with mindful body awareness to create well-rounded musicians. I incorporate movement techniques like the Alexander Technique and focused breathing exercises to help students play more freely and prevent tension. Visual learning plays a key role in my lessons I use diagrams and fretboard maps to make complex concepts clear and accessible. Alongside this, I provide auditory playbacks to train the ear and reinforce musical understanding.
Performance anxiety is something many musicians face, so I work closely with students to develop strategies that build confidence on stage and in practice. Technique is important, but I believe true mastery comes from feeling grounded in both mind and body. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, my goal is to support your growth with patience and encouragement. I’m passionate about guiding students to discover their unique voice while maintaining a healthy, sustainable approach to playing. Together, we’ll build solid foundations and unlock your full musical potential.
