My teaching style is relaxed but focused. Understanding that each student develops at his or her own pace, I am patient and willing to answer any questions as we move along.

I will always explain "why" we are learning something, whether it's a particular technique or topic and "how" we go about accomplishing it.

The goal is able to play open chords, bar chords, power chords, scales and being able to apply those to simple pop and rock to basic level in two month. Read More
