Your family’s music coach and concierge

Private in-home Guitar and Songwriting lessons with all-in support

Ideal for beginners and students early in their music journey. And for songwriters, searching to find their voice or looking to finish that first song. And for parents, who want to support their family’s interests, and don’t know where to start.

  • Want to learn how to write a hit? Need help finishing a song? Want to record a demo?

  • From guitar and gear consultation, to home studio set-ups, pedalboard builds, event sound and more.

Welcome to Crosscut. We found each other. Let me know whats on your mind and lets connect. I'm happy to refer other teachers if they better fit your needs. Otherwise, we can look at calendars and off we go.

Private in-home lessons can be 1:1, + sibling or group based. I travel to you. A space in Hillsborough can be arranged, if preferred. We'll align on a plan after we chat.

All concierge support is free. I love talking all-things music. If you need anything above and beyond... let's talk about it.

Why Crosscut

crosscut definition:

  1. a diagonal cut across the main grain of wood or stone

  2. alternating between two or more sequences when editing a movie

 

Becoming a musician isn’t a linear path. It often cuts across the grain. Your musical story will develop and grow alongside all aspects of your life. It will zig and zag across your storyline, like different scenes in a movie.

Crosscut's mission is to INSPIRE. To unlock the music and creativity everyone has inside. To offer lessons, tools and guidance. To pass along what we’ve learned. And help to set it free.
