About Colleen Collins

Classical guitar, acoustic guitar, instrumentals, vocals. My performances can blend elegant instrumentals with expressive vocals that captivate any audience. My repertoire spans pop, timeless love songs, classic rock, and the rich traditions of Spanish and Irish/Scottish music—creating a musical experience that is both refined and heartfelt. A classically trained guitarist since the age of nine, I have had the privilege of studying with renowned masters Christopher Parkening, Manuel Barrueco, and David Tannenbaum. Today, I am honored to be in continual demand for weddings, corporate events, and private performances throughout the Phoenix area. Available as a soloist, duo, trio (with violin), or full four-piece band, I tailor each performance to create the perfect atmosphere—elegant, engaging, and unforgettable. _______________________________________________________ If you are interested in guitar lessons- **Please note I am located in Phoenix, Arizona, but I also do lessons remotely and have students located around the country. I am a certified teacher, having taught in Arizona’s public schools for the past 15 years. I qualify for the voucher/ESA program in Arizona, so you can use voucher funds to pay for your guitar lessons. I am patient, positive, and encouraging and can teach guitar for all levels, ages, and styles. Students always learn a song the first lesson to learn the foundation of basic chords, and then each week we build that with songs the student wants to learn. Students will learn chords, strum patterns, finger picking, and note reading. In addition, my classical guitar background helps students learn the proper technique for holding the guitar, as well as finger and hand placement to maximize playing potential. I also offer free recitals, so students are given the opportunity to perform.
