The best feeling for me is seeing my students progress and enjoy playing the guitar. I always set goals for my students from lesson to lesson so that we can optimize what we do in each meeting.

With knowledge of what the student wants to learn on the guitar we can accomplish any goals between individual practice and lessons. Read More
