Walker teaches guitar and bass at his studio on the Northside of Chicago. Formerly a staff teacher at Northside Music Academy, he has a wealth of experience with students of all ages and backgrounds. He prides himself on prioritizing the interests of the student and is comfortable teaching Jazz, Blues, Rock & Pop.


“Walker has been very encouraging and kind. He has been patient with me while I've been learning the basics but still challenges me to try more and work on difficult pieces. He doesn't forget to compliment my progress and my effort. I've definitely become more confident in my ability as a musician.” - Jenn C.

“Sometimes learning the basics of anything can get a bit dull, but Walker makes sure that he is tailoring lessons to your musical tastes and aspirations. I’ve come so far in just a year and change and have experienced so much enrichment in my life because of it! Walker is insanely talented in his own right which makes learning from him especially motivating with the hope of one day being even a fraction as proficient and creative as he. Can’t recommend him as a teacher enough!” - Caroline C.

“ Walker has been great to work with. My almost 7 year old literally can’t wait for his lesson every week. Walker is thoughtful, energetic and passionate. He is also responsive, professional and flexible which is incredibly helpful.” - Cora P.
