Welcome!
I am a life-long professional musician who has "lived the dream" by touring and recording. Now, I focus on teaching what I have learned along the way. I regularly perform, sharing my love of music.
Learn to Play!
You can learn to play guitar, ukulele, piano, bass, as well as recording, songwriting, improvising, and music theory at Rivers Music
Maybe you are just starting to play, or have you played awhile but feel stuck. No matter where you are on your musical journey, I will help you get to the next level. I am an award winning guitarist and music educator and I offer three pathways to learn: in-person private lessons, private online lessons, and books for self-guided learning through my publications The Best Guitar Method and The Best Guitar Toolkit. My spacious home studio, Rivers Music LLC, is located in the Clifton neighborhood of Cincinnati, OH. In addition to guitar, I also teaches, piano, bass, recording, songwriting, improvising, and music theory.
When I am not teaching or performing with some of the best musicians in Cincinnati, I am often found presenting at music education conferences around the United States. Be sure to check my schedule and performance clips.
