Ray Gehring is a professional guitarist and music educator with over 25 years of experience.

Lessons for Every Level

Guitar classes are the perfect way to lay the foundation for, or improve, your guitar-playing skills. Ray Gehring personalizes lesson plans to meet your level and interest, and he offers beginner guitar lessons, lessons for those who’ve tinkered a bit with the strings, and lessons for players who are a step away from becoming guitar masters themselves.

From Jazz to Rock

The guitar’s rich history begins in 16th century Spain then evolving through many forms and styles and becoming one of the world’s most popular and widely played instruments. Its versatility means it can be used in nearly every genre of music, from classical and flamenco to rock, jazz, and pop. Its popularity is due in part to its portability and the wide range of sounds it can produce.
