Adam Hernandez - Guitar teacher in Greensboro

Hey my name is Adam Hernandez and I’m a Bachelors educated jazz musician. I spend most of my time playing the upright bass but I have 5+ years of experience teaching guitar, piano, and electric bass. My lessons focus mostly on the artistic aspects of music, hoping to bring out the creativity of my students. I specialize in improvised music seeing as that’s what I mainly do in a jazz setting. My roots however, are in electronic, blues, and funk music so my taste is slightly eclectic. My goal as a teacher is to leave my students feeling like they are capable of expressing themselves and playing what they hear on their instruments. I try my best to include theory while implementing it into music my students enjoy. I find that concepts are easily taught when the students are given a solid ground of understanding. I look forwards to creating music with you:)

Hope George - Guitar teacher in Greensboro

I have been playing the guitar since I was 19 year os age. This was right after I had already learned to play the piano. I had many teachers and mentors, and I was part of a university band. This helped me grow and improve quickly. I set out to start teaching the guitar when some of my fans wanted to play as well as I do. My focus and advice to all my students is not to be just as good as I am, but to strive to be better, way better than I am. Discover and develop your own unique style and pattern. That's why I'm here, to find those students that have those sparks and fan it to flame. Some of my students start out not seeing entirely sure where and how they'd like to play. But that's also part of what I teach.
