About
I teach both electric and acoustic guitar lessons. I am accomplished local musician in Colorado and Have been teaching throughout Colorado for over 10 years. I teach on Saturday @ the Music Education Center in Broomfield and in home lessons south in surrounding areas. Arvada, Westminster, Lakewood & Denver.
I customize lesson plans to fit the needs of the individual student and focus on getting the results that they desire. With flexible scheduling and easy payment plans. In doing so I provide a fun and enjoyable experience for the student which helps them to feel comfortable learning new things while progressing forward wth confidence.
On your journey of learning guitar you build awareness and self esteem within yourself and have fun in the process. I believe learning music is one of the best thing that anyone at any age can do for themselves and it is never to late to start.
