Jim Westlyn Guitar Lessons

My teaching approach:

My teaching approach is laid back and friendly. Playing the instrument should be enjoyable and a lesson should be a stress-free experience. My background involves a BME from Shenandoah Conservatory, hundreds of gigs, both solo and with rock & jazz commercial bands, and teaching between 20 and 40 students a week for the past thirty five years. I enjoy teaching and I'm good at it.
