About Me
My students have to be at least 7 years old to start lessons. As a child, I studied guitar and drums privately. I began a professional career at 14 and played and taught through college. I spent several years out west and began my original songwriting career there. Since returning to Dayton, I have formed original songwriting and jazz groups over the years. I have been teaching for the past 20 years and continue to create, record, form groups and play solo guitar performances.

    youth guitar lessons

    My son has been in lessons with Janet for a few sessions and I can already see him grasping the concepts of music and the strumming of his strings is so much better. He LOVES going to lessons and always is smiling during them. I can not say enough wonderful things about Janet. She has truly been an amazing instructor for my son. She is so happy to see him and very informative. Lacy Brandt wrote on Wed, 21 Jun 2017
