Boston Guitar Lessons
Ksenia has been teaching guitar since 1996 to beginner and advanced students. Lessons are tailored to the student’s interests and skill level. Lessons include both individual training and group workshops to develop the student’s ability to play with others and sing while playing.

Student testimonials:
“When I walked into my first lesson with Ksenia, I knew I had made the right choice. I was a self-taught guitarist and had been playing the guitar for about 10 years. Ksenia helped take my rhythm playing and song-writing to the next level. Lessons with her were always pleasant and something I looked forward to. I could never wait to see what she would teach me next. If you`ve been playing the guitar for a while or are a complete beginner, Ksenia can definitely help you become a better player.”
“Ksenia Mack combines creativity, compassion, and hilarity in her teaching. It is rare to find someone who has can analyze and effectively break down musical patterns in such an an ingenious way while also nurturing and entertaining. I would not have stepped onto my first open mic stage, or played my first original songs for anyone without Ksenia`s kind and confident encouragement.”
“I always called Ksenia my yoda. In just three months I went from not touching a guitar to recording songs, singing and playing, strumming with a pic and fingerpicking. She`s amazing. I was shy, but she never let me give in to the feeling that I wasn`t good enough. Ksenia brought out the guitar player in me through warmth, guidance and plain ol` good teaching skills. Be careful, though, you`ll get hooked on her like you get hooked on a great exercise program, a really great hairstylist or your favorite coffee place.”
“Ksenia Mack helped me find the center of my musical spirit.”
