Music Lessons in Atwood, CA

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

As mentioned before, I learned that I have an affinity to make the music fun. It's never just work with me. I believe that a musician has done his/her job not when he/she can channel the energy of the music onto the listener. I love watching a student's face light up when they are able to play a lick or a statement that they never thought they would be able to play, or when I see the proverbial lightbulb going on atop their heads.

Instruments: Guitar

Having taught guitar both privately and as an independent contractor, I have experience teaching a wide variety of student types.
