Online Guitar lessons

with a Teacher that Cares

Online - Personalized

Hello! I’m Paul Sarafin. I’ve been an SAA registered Suzuki Method music educator for over 20 years! I’d love connecting to help you discover your guitar potential.

I’ve designed all resources and teaching approaches for the best online experience possible.

Young Students

“My boys have had many educators throughout the years and Paul has been the most influential by far” - Jessica M.

I LOVE teaching kids!

Creating an environment of success for kids is a unique endeavor. I partner with parents to nurture their children through musical growth. This is what you can expect:

  • Twinkle to college readiness (ages 5+)

  • Best repertoire and method available (Suzuki Method Guitar).

  • Fundamentals with classical guitar (tone, technique, music-reading and theory, etc).

  • Relational, natural engagement with a song-centric initial focus.

  • Seasonal Youtube-style recitals with the addition of themed songs (Halloween, etc).

  • Support for students with neurodiversity.

I’ve taught literally hundreds of young people to gain a life-long love of music and playing the guitar.

Adult Students

“I value my guitar time so much and look forward to each lesson.” - Amy Y.

As an adult looking to learn, you might be most interested in playing for your own gratification. You imagine yourself strumming around a campfire with close friends or family. My focus as your teacher will be help you participate in the music that moves you. This is what you can expect:

  • A knowledgable coach that helps you curate songs for playability and fun.

  • A song-centered, skill based development plan.

  • Theory and terminology along the way that helps you think and talk like a guitarist.

  • A judgement-free space with a patient peer educator.

  • Classical (Christopher Parkening style), Acoustic strumming and finger style (John Denver style) or Rock N’ Roll (think Beatles or Metallica). I’m deeply familiar with it all.

Many adults have successfully enjoyed a well-crafted musical journey with me! Expect to be encouraged and challenged naturally out with recognition and genuine respect.
