Luis' Guitar Lessons
About
I have played guitar for over 9 years and am continuing to grow and develop as musician. My peers say that I am responsible, patient, and authentic in my relationships and I intend to carry those same qualities into each lesson to meet you or your child where you are and to help bring a joyful experience into what can often be a tedious process.
I have some experience in teaching friends and close acquaintances, but to teach formally had not crossed my mind until multiple people suggested that I explore the idea. If you're comfortable with that, then I'm willing to put my best foot forward in helping to develop the consistent skills that every musician can benefit from.
