Beginners are welcome!
I have been teaching for 2 years in the Ft. Myers area.
I have been playing guitar/bass for about 15 years
I play in an acoustic cover band - Jamboozle - where I play guitar, bass, ukulele, cajon (a percussion instrument) and I also write all of the backing tracks that we use.
I graduated from the Recording Institute of Detroit in 2009 with a certificate in Recording Engineering. I can record and mix music if needed.
I enjoy sharing the gift of music and helping people acheive their goals!
