I am happy to know you are interested in guitar as your instrument. Guitar is one of the most versatile instruments known in its style and approach and guitar is the number one instrument sold globally.
You will find my teaching style relaxed but focused with every moment counting towards your musical growth. I hope you will find learning guitar as rewarding as I do in teaching it.
In most cases it will be recommended you purchase a guitar method book recommended by your teacher. During your lessons you will be given handouts from time to time and they should be kept with this packet along with your book and brought to your lesson each week. Your progress is totally up to you; however, you may be surprised how quickly you will be playing from the very first lesson. Your commitment to daily practice and your desire to play will determine how quickly you will advance.
My goal as your teacher is to equip you and guide you along your musical path to achieve your goals within your musical style of choice.
