My name is Gordon, I've been playing guitar for 19 years now, bass for 8 years, and ukulele for 2 years. I enjoy teaching students of all skill levels and areas of interest, although rock, metal, punk, and blues are some of my favorite genres. I always like to focus on the students' interests first and foremost, and give them the tools and skills needed to play their favorite songs, as well as compose their own songs once they master the basics. I'm very thankful for the opportunity to help guide students on their musical journeys, and I hope to help you on yours soon!

Guitar Center Kansas City 9188 NW Skyview Ave. Kansas City, MO
Heyo! Just your friendly neighborhood Kyle here! Music is my obsession & I hope to share my knowledge & love with any & all interested in starting their musical journey! My primary instruments are guitar and bass that I've been playing for somewhere around 18 years, but I'm mostly a singer and have been since I was very young. I come from a pretty musical family. My mom had me in musicals since I was 5 & my dad is a prominent Jazz musician here in KC. However, my life changed forever when my older brother showed me Green Day's record "Dookie" back in '94. All this said, I have a pretty eclectic taste in music & always love discovering more!

Frequently Asked Questions
Each instructor customizes lessons to ensure you are learning what you like and having fun. Your instructor will start you slowly, introducing new concepts each week, plus give you exercises or easy songs to play to keep you learning at home.
Learning an instrument is an enriching and rewarding experience that creates lifelong benefits, including increased self-esteem and the boosting of memory. Additionally, benefits for school-age individuals can include improved coordination, the expanding of social skills, and higher scores in math, reading and language.
30-minute lessons allow young or beginner students to learn the basics of the instrument and start playing songs. 60-minute lessons are ideal for more advanced students looking to progress faster and focus on the finer points of technique.
This varies by age and the type of goals the student has set out to achieve. However, most new students usually spend 15–30 min. practicing daily, while advanced students can practice for an hour or more each day in between lessons.
Our flexible curriculum allows students of all skill levels to experience growth. We help create a foundational understanding of music theory through the style of music you want to play. Our instructors will work to understand your goals and passions, and make sure you are on the path to learning what you want at your own speed.
Our Lessons staff will work with you to determine your current skill level, stylistic interest and ambitions. We'll then help you choose an instructor who best suits your style and goals. If at any point, you'd like to change instructors, let us know. Our weekly monitoring of progress and wide-ranging curriculum means you can switch to any of our qualified instructors, or another instrument, without missing a beat.
