    Moises Gutierrez
    Distance: mi
    Guitar Center Athens 1791 Oconee Connector Suite 450 Athens, GA
    Hi, I'm Moi! Born & raised in Athens & a lover of music since starting guitar at 13, music has given me joy, discipline, confidence, critical thinking, and a deeper sense of purpose in life. My mission is to help others discover these transformative experiences through their own unique musical journey. Finding your voice in music is a challenging yet beautiful and rewarding process—it’s a language that expresses what words cannot. I studied classical guitar at the University of Georgia and the University of North Georgia, and I’ve performed in a variety of settings, from rock and R&B bands to college guitar quartets and countless solo performances. My experience spans genres like R&B, psychedelic rock, classic rock, punk rock, classical, jazz, funk, hardcore, and post-punk. Let’s explore the endless possibilities of music together!

    Guitar Center Athens 1791 Oconee Connector Suite 450 Athens, GA
    Hi, I’m Rio! Music has always been a part of who I am—it’s not something I found, but something I’ve carried within me. I’m well-rounded in just about every genre and have played drums on two studio albums. While I’m not in a band right now (I’m focused on teaching), I still get hired by artists and bands for gigs. Outside of music, I love working out, traveling, and trying new activities that push me out of my comfort zone. Teaching allows me to share my passion and help others discover the joy of music. Let’s create something amazing together!

    Nathaniel Loper
    Distance: mi
    Guitar Center Athens 1791 Oconee Connector Suite 450 Athens, GA
    Hey, I’m Nate Loper (aka Late Noper)! With over a decade of teaching experience in private lessons and public school orchestras, I bring a unique blend of classical rigor and real-world fun to every lesson. My approach combines 20+ years of classical training with practical insights from my live performance career—whether it’s rocking keyboards for indie band Steady the Wave, touring Europe with the NFAF Orchestra, or sharing the stage with legends like James Brown’s former backing singer, Tony Howard. I’m also an award-winning composer, film scorer, and frontman for the funk band The Band Clark. When I’m not teaching or performing, you’ll find me composing, kickboxing, woodworking, or baking something delicious. As Victor Wooten said, 'People will forget you, but they’ll never forget how your music made them feel.' Let’s create unforgettable music together!

    Distance: mi
    Guitar Center Athens 1791 Oconee Connector Suite 450 Athens, GA
    Hi, I’m Elijah! With 16 years of playing experience and 5 years as a certified educator, I’m passionate about helping students sharpen their skills while exploring the styles they love most. I specialize in guitar, bass, ukulele, and mandolin, with a focus on rock, folk, soul, blues, fingerstyle, and improvisation. Over the years, I’ve performed and recorded with bands like N1KI and various church ensembles, releasing singles and honing my craft in both live and studio settings. Music has always been a part of my life—my dad was my first guitar teacher, and growing up in a musical household inspired me to learn from every musician I’ve jammed with. I majored in English and minored in Spanish at UGA, graduating in 2018, and when I’m not teaching or playing, I enjoy reading, writing, video games, and tabletop games. I live with my wife and our dog, and I’m excited to share my love of music with you. Let’s create something amazing together!
