Bill M. says, "Wow! That's my feeling whenever I complete a music lesson with Vance as my instructor. Vance is a multi-talented virtuoso when it comes to music and styles, being classically trained. Whether you are looking for the basics of a three chord beat, lessons in improvisation for rock or jazz, or are looking to become proficient in classical music repertoire, up to intense music theory, I have found Vance to be a great resource. He has the patience of a saint, the talent of a master, and is really easy to work with and study under. Vance emphasizes technique so that one doesn't start out with bad habits, and fall into the trap of not being able to progress to higher levels. I found this to be so important as time went on.
I have personally worked with Vance for over 4 years. Started out just wanting to learn some riffs to add to rhythm, for songs of my age (70's prog rock), and within a couple of lessons, decided that classical guitar and technique were a better challenge. Vance is up for it all. He can pick up a piece of unknown music and within minutes, perform it practically flawlessly. But a teacher also has to be capable of adapting to a student's needs and playing/reading capabilities.
Vance is superb at that; he's so talented.
Long review, but if you've made it to this point, do yourself or your potential student a favor, and meet up with Vance. He is selfless with his time and dedication. What more could you want in a teacher capable of so many forms and styles of guitar or keyboards? A+++, 5 Stars! You owe it to yourself.. Beginner or Advanced or Intermediate!
