Hope - Know your guitar teacher
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.

Guitar lessons quick guide
My teaching methodology involves a tailored curriculum for each student. That means I do not use the same curriculum for any 2 students. This is because everyone's learning ability and pace differs. Some people have a prior musical background, and this gives them some kind of start off. All of these are taken into consideration as well as what the student knows and what they'd need to develop. As the training goes on, we modify and add to the curriculum any more learning topics to aid in the process of the student to the next level. Part of what I also do to improve my students growth is the use of engaging exercises home and classwork. Feedback from friends and family. As a matter of fact all my classes are yniques. My turns are always looking forward to next session with me
