Learn from Someone Who's Been Where You Want to Go
Sybil Grace founded Portland Guitar Academy in 2011 because she understands what it takes to become an exceptional guitarist. For over two decades, she trained privately with world-renowned players including Luca Turilli, Jennifer Batten, Nili Brosh, German Schauss, and Zack Uidl. She knows what serious, focused instruction looks like-and she brings that same dedication to every student.
With a Master of Arts in Songwriting and Music Production and dual undergraduate focus in Classical and Jazz Guitar Performance, Sybil combines technical mastery with deep musicality. As an endorsed artist with B.C. Rich, Ovation, and D'Angelico Guitars, she's an active session guitarist, composer, and performer who brings real-world experience into every lesson.
But credentials only tell part of the story. What sets Sybil apart is her genuine passion for helping every student succeed. She's invested in your progress-not just as a player, but as a musician finding your own voice. Whether you're picking up the guitar for the first time or preparing for a career in music, Sybil meets you where you are with patience, encouragement, and the expertise to help you get where you want to go.
