I cater my teaching style to each student's age, skill level and personality.

I like to start my lessons with basic introduction to the guitar as an instrument and its components. String names, how to tune, and how to change your strings are included.

(unless it's avant garde, or experimental) We will go through basic chords one by one and chord structures. Read More
