Instruments: Guitar

I got my first guitar in the summer of 2001 and found the guitar was a great hobby when I was bored and couldn't find anything else to do. My passion for the guitar grew exponentially when I started getting better at it. I recieved only a few lessons from private intructors before I went to college and learn how to 'really' play the guitar. Two summers ago I had my first students and it was great to be on the other side as an instructor. Read More

If the students are just interested in one specific thing then we focus on that. Read More

I began teaching when I was 17 after I made friends who were younger through the mariachi summer camp.
