Guitar Lessons
If you are new to music, let Sean help you turn your dream of learning an instrument into a reality. If you have already played music for years, Sean can help you refine your skills and offer suggestions to rekindle your musical inspiration.
Sean Cleland Music offers a personalized course of study based on students' interests, and specializes in not just teaching students the fundamentals of their instrument, but helping them cultivate a deeper appreciation for improvisation, theory, composition, and song craft. Helping students perfect their chosen cover songs, learn to compose their own songs, understand music theory, access their creativity, unleash the artist within, and put all of the musical "pieces" together into a coherent base for performance (in any capacity) are what Sean enjoys most about teaching.
As an artist, Sean is a 3-time Na Hoku Hanohano (Hawaii's state-wide equivalent of the Grammy awarded by the Hawaii Academy of Recording Arts) winner for 'Alternative Album of the Year' (2019, 2021, 2022). He is described as an "innovative singer-songwriter and prolific performer who plays pop, rock, and soul" by The Honolulu Star-Advertiser.
