Bernard teaches in Chandler. My son stayed inspired, week after week. Within just a few lessons, his chord changes and rhythm improved. Progress that quick it's been amazing to see.

Even though I do not plan on becoming a professional guitar player but learning how to strum the songs I love has been such a big deal for me since I've never played before . All thanks to Bernard for being incredibly patient and helping me gain confidence!

What really pushed my progress forward this year in Lakeview east was Bernard unique approach to ear training.Revisiting recordings of my playing and analyzing them closely made me catch mistakes and improve in ways I never could have done without Bernard guidance.

Thanks to Bernard for the chord practice sessions and timing exercises my son now plays along with backing tracks much more confidently. The guidance and encouragement provided in West University have been truly valuable.

My 7 year old daughter has been learning classical guitar from Bernard for six months, and he absolutely loves it. Bernard makes the lessons fun by adding stories and rhythm games, which really help keep kids interested. Now my daughter can play little songs and even pretends to be the teacher when he plays with his dolls it’s so sweet to watch!
