Allegro Guitar Society

At our first lesson I assess your level and try to get to know how you receive information. It's different for everyone and I try to personalize my approach to each student. We'll discuss you interests in music and any related hobbies and activities. 

I've studied with several fo the best guitaists and teachers and have made a life's work of constantly studying how to make playing guitar easier in order to allow students to be more artistic. Please visit my website for more iformation. 

My fee is $80 per hour. (see discount below) Students who pay monthly receive a free lesson in months with 5 lesoson days in a month. 

Students who are inrolled in school receive a 25% discount if tuition is paid monthly

My first couple of students were friends of my dad's who heard me play when I was 15 yrs. old and asked for lessons. During my freshman year at Southern Methodist University I was recommended for a job at a local small university to teach as an adjunct (private lesson) instructor. At 20 yrs. I was hired to teach classical guitar at Northlake College of the Dallas County Community College District. I've been teaching for 47 years and I'm still learning new things that help my students be better guitaists and more artistic musicians. 

I mostly teach classical guitar, but I'm very interested in helping guitarist in all genres improve their playing. 

I'm mostly fond of spending time wth my family. Musically, I love to hear the concerts presented by Cliburn Concerts. 

Watch videos of the teacher to see if you like his or her playing. Do a phone interview. You don't need to interrogate the teacher, but you can get a very good idea of the his/her temperment in a short conversation. Be clear about what you wish to learn. 

That really depends on what you want, but write some questions down so you don't forget to ask.
