Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar, Synthesizer, Music, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

Hello! I'm Kurt. I'm a passionate musician and instructor looking to spread the joy of music to all those who seek to learn it! For more than 10 years now I've been playing both guitar and bass.

I am a firm believer of having a student excel and learn at their own pace and the last thing I want is for a student to feel overwhelmed or even become discouraged. Setting goals is important and all goals set are realistic and reachable, no matter how small. Read More
