About
My name is Arda "B." Bagcioglu and I specialize in private electric and acoustic guitar lessons in my or your home. I have been playing and teaching guitar for over 20 years,over the years i've had over 1000 students.Guitar should be a fun and enjoyable, as well as a pleasant learning experience for a student. Whether you're a true beginner or want to advance your guitar playing skills I can help you achieve your goals. I enjoy teaching all age groups, children, teens and adults.
Have fun while you advance your skills for school band, your own band, or for your own personal enjoyment. I have taught and played many genres of music, and can tailor lessons to suit your taste--Rock, blues, country, metal, pop, school band, jazz, to name a few.
Home lessons can help today's busy parents and working people save valuable travel time, and enable them to enjoy learning in the comfort of their own home. I live in the Charlotte area and have a flexible schedule to accommodate students.
I am so sure you will enjoy your guitar lessons, that I offer the first half an hour lesson for free!
I feel really grateful to make a living with something i love, besides making money, traveling, meeting new people, seeing different places is always an adventure. Also some of my students play with the bands around the area, when i see them play,i feel really proud. Witnessing my kid students grow and their improvements are another reason to feel proud!
