About
Achieve your musical goals on the guitar with an experienced and patient instructor.
I can show you how to play songs, teach you about music theory and chord progressions, help you learn scales, and help you develop a better sense of rythmn and timing.
Our time together is yours. If you want practice playing songs together or learn the various aspects of the instruments it is totally up to you. I am here to serve your musical needs.
Music is a wonderfully powerful creative force that enriches our life experiences through the art storytelling. It elicits emotional responses in listeners and players, connects people from all walks of life, and helps make the world a better place.
Since I was a boy, I have passionately pursued this force through my guitar playing. I am eternally grateful to have learned, and continue learning the instrument from incredibly gifted and talented musicians- each of whom has helped foster my musical abilities and interests. In turn, I love sharing my knowledge and passion of the instrument with others.
