Teaching Info

The lessons for each student will be customized around their goals and objectives and the unique amount of time they can devote to practice… we lead very busy lives and instructors need to understand the student’s other obligations.   The lessons should be fun and relaxed…. feel free to mess up and make mistakes because that’s how we discover some really cool things about the instrument and the notes…  I will help you understand that there is a very small part of the guitar neck that you need to focus on and that all those strings and all those frets aren’t as daunting as they appear… Most of all, I hope I will help you love the guitar or the bass guitar as much as I have come to love them.
