Deadly! Excellent skills with classical and Spanish guitar, she’s very patient and methodical. I like her holistic approach to learning and has been a fabulous tutor so far!
Deadly! Céili is a great teacher!
I started learning classical guitar around 3 months ago with very little experience. After interviewing a few teachers, Céili had the most interesting background and experience. Look her up... she has done many recitals, trained under Eliot Fisk, spent time in Granada Spain studying classical guitar at the University of Granada and is a pleasure to learn from.
On Instagram and YouTube, she regularly shares new programs she's working on which gives her students something to aspire to.

Just 3 months later, I can sight-read music, play natural/artificial harmonics, know how to shape my nails, have a practice routine and can play 3 pieces reasonably well. Very excited about the progress made and looking forward to growing more.View more reviews

Ceili has been my classical guitar teacher since March of 2021, at the height of the pandemic. She was always flexible in scheduling our sessions, and she took the utmost care in making them useful for me. I’ve grown more through Ceili in guitar over the last two years than I ever had over my 3 self-taught years. If you want to focus on Spanish, modern, or even pop guitar, Ceili is the teacher to go to. Need I mention that she studied with Eliot Fisk, the only classical guitarist to have ever ported all of Paganini’s 24 violin caprices to the guitar? Absolutely amazing! ️
I've been studying classical guitar with Ceili for 5 years. She helped me find a beautiful guitar -- my most precious possession. Whenever I propose some crazy piece to work on, she's "OK, here's a way you could start on that project". Her guidance through the music literature is excellent. I have progressed so much while working with her, it's quite wonderful! My lessons feel more like collaborating with a coworker than being directed by a teacher. My session with Ceili is a high point of my week.
Ceili has been amazing and pleasure to work with. My daughter loves playing the guitar, and there is no one else I would have teach her. Ceili is always welcoming and very nice when interacting with my daughter. She is always on time and punctual. I appreciate all of the help every Sunday.
My daughter has been taking guitar from Ceili for 2.5 years. Ceili has been super responsive to my (now- 13yo) daughter's strengths, weaknesses, preferences, and interests. She's warm, sensitive, dynamic, and flexible, and finds intuitive ways to explain musical concepts. She's incorporated a lot of reading and music theory into lessons, which has notably boosted my daughter's musical skills more generally. Very highly recommend.
We absolutely ADORE Ceili!! She's been our son's guitar teacher for several years and he's become a very lovely musician under her direction and care. She even planned and organized a recital recently of her students - all of whom performed beautifully! She's also wonderful to work with in coordinating lessons - always flexible and accommodating. We HIGHLY recommend her!
