Ken is a consummate professional and has taken the time to teach me music theory as well as the mechanics of how to actually play guitar. This is incredibly important to me as I hope to someday compose music. Ken is consistent in his approach and really "gets" how to teach. He knows how to communicate technique in a supportive yet disciplined manner so the student truly gets the most from the session. Cannot recommend more highly! SCG Alexandria, VA

I have been taking lessons with Ken for almost 2 years and could not be happier! I have learned so much with in that time frame, much more than I ever thought I could learn. He's a very patient and supportive teacher that always encourages me to do the very best I can do and to progress at my own pace. I highly recommend him for anyone interested in taking guitar lessons.
