Tucson Guitar Lessons
About
I'm passionate about helping people feel great about their guitar playing skills!
In 2012 I started a school of music teaching guitar, bass, piano, drums, voice, and songwriting. I have experience teaching all ages from ages 6 to 50!
I've been playing/performing music for 10+ years and have been fortunate enough to perform for large audiences across the USA, Canada, and Ireland.
I have a degree in music from Pacific Life College in Surrey, BC and have recorded/self produced 3 albums.
