I have been teaching guitar for nearly 12 years now ,with my primary focus being to get my students performing their favorite songs as soon as possible. I have a practical approach to teaching so that all the music theory you are taught is demonstrated on the guitar as well. During lessons, students get written notes, exercises, notation, as well as songs for practice. I strive to adapt my lessons to meet the needs of each individual student while still expecting them to be consistent and try their best each time. Teaching music has always been an inspiring and rewarding occupation for me. I look forward to the chance to work with you.
