Who am I?

Hello I’m Aaron,

I am a kid at heart, who loves education and music. I have been fortunate enough to build my career on these two passions. I graduated from the University of Valley Forge with a degree in music education in 2011.

Since then, I moved to Los Angeles, where I performed, wrote, and recorded with various artist. I now reside in Chicago where I also work as a music director for Parkview Church and an educator with arts-n-ed collaborative.

What is Elevate Guitar Method?

It’s simple! It is access to hundreds of video lessons that I have put together over the many, many years of teaching (more than a decade). It occurred to me this past year that I have taught hundreds of songs to hundreds of students since I first started teaching in 2006. After teaching the same songs over and over I realized, I know what songs can help students grow the most and I know how to teach them so they make sense and are easy to learn. So, I decided to put this website together where my students can access all those songs I’ve put together over the years. I started with 50 video lessons and I regularly upload more every week. This database will in time be invaluable to students and I’m sure it will exceed hundreds of videos. After all, I probably teach 10-15 new songs every week between all my students.; why not grant access to these lessons to everyone instead of simply the one student who requested the song. Upon starting this I decided to make a subscription based program where others who want access can get their hands on these video lessons too. So, you don’t have to be a private student of mine to learn from myself! Plus this could save you so much money in the long run.
