Taking guitar lessons from Cort is easy! If you live in the Sequim area, Cort teaches at the Olympic Music School in downtown Sequim, as well as at his home studio in Dungeness, just outside of Sequim. Even if you don't live in the area, making an occasional trip into the Olympic National Park could be an opportunity to schedule a 1-2 hour lesson and fuel your practice for the next month. And if making it to Sequim is impossible, you can take advantage of our online lessons right here on the website. All of the video lessons and articles are short and focussed, and will help you to become a better player. Contact us if you have any questions about taking lessons, or are interested in an online guitar course tailored to you.

Private and Group Lessons

Cort is teaching private and group lessons at the Olympic Music School in downtown Sequim. It is a fine space for learning to play guitar, and is conveniently located in the center of town.

Cort is also teaching in his home music studio in Dungeness, just north of Sequim. The birds, the luscious farmland, the river, the Strait, and those amazing mountains might just inspire you in the same way it has inspired Cort, who has been joyfully making music here for years.
