Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First and foremost, I will need the student to be very clear on what their goals are. Maybe it is to learn their favorite songs, increase their musical knowledge, to read music, or all of the above. A brief evaluation on the first lesson will determine the level of playing ability and knowledge of music. After that, we will then proceed by taking small steps towards the goals set, so as to give the student time to master the basics necessary to achieve what the student wants to achieve.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
$40 (one hour lesson)
Payments through Zelle (US) PayPal (Europe)
Added bonus: After the lesson is over, a music assignment for the following week will be sent by email or text.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've had students from many different ages and diverse backgrounds. The youngest student I ever taught was 5 and the oldest was 65. I've taught people who were already recording in the studio, playing live in bands, and as a solo act. But like other instructors, it's mostly beginners that you sign up. Three of my students have gone on to become successful in the music business.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Remember that just because someone is a great guitarist, does not automatically make them a great guitar teacher. Also, it is an advantage to take lessons from a guitar teacher who is known for the style of music that interests you the most. However, if you are new to the instrument, and or new to music, then practically any teacher with impressive credentials and teaching experience will get you on your way.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
1) Which type of guitar do I usually practice on? The electric, acoustic, or nylon string classical?
2) What style of music am I most inspired by?
3) How do I hope to benefit from formal guitar lessons?
