Hi

i am looking for a guitar teacher for my 8 year daughter. She has learning difficulties and I would love someone who understands this. I live in Oakland, so someone close preferably! Thanks!!

I recommend asking Ian at IR Guitar to set you up with a trial lesson. They have many great teachers and a diverse student population  https://www.irguitarlessons.com/

Joe Osborne is amazing. He has taught in Oakland public schools but recently started his own music school. Really great with all kinds of different kids. I give him my highest recommendation - just excellent!

If you can make it to North Berkeley, Mori Achen is worth the drive. My daughter loved him, and years later she says if she ever had a wedding that she'd have him play at it!

Matthew Heulitt is an amazing guitar teacher!! https://mchguitar.com/ He is based in Richmond but has been teaching virtually over the past year. He has been teaching for 30+ years, children and adults, and is so skilled, patient, encouraging and knowledgeable. I took classes from him myself but would gladly send my daughter to him in the future. He is a gem!
