Christopher Dom - Guitar teacher in Winston-Salem

I am currently in my final year of music studies, at Leeds Conservatoire. The 3 year BA course included practical and theoretical elements, including a teaching module which I particularly enjoyed and excelled at. Conservatoire education has allowed me to build on my previous experience, and accumulate a good knowledge of the theoretical foundations of music, as well as their practical implementation. I’m an active and regular practitioner both in live and studio settings and play regularly around the Leeds circuit. I am more than happy to teach beginners and more advanced players. Around the clock, I am available to be contacted if my students should need support, and I always plan teaching materials in advance, so that lessons are efficient and the best they can be. Students are more than welcome to lead the way throughout our lessons, and I actively encourage them to bring in songs/styles to learn.
