Thanks to James from Sandoval, I now grasp the subtleties of musical shaping and how to make a piece truly resonate. The drills he provided for chord practice still have rendered my performances more articulate and detailed.

During Guitar lessons at West Park, James is kind, upbeat, and extremely well-organized. he uses mini-goals and progress charts to keep me motivated each week. We focus on acoustic fingerstyle and classic rock progressions, and he tailors the lessons to my pace and interests.

We've been mainly working with classical guitar pieces and its surprising for me how good I've gotten at it. He always gives me constructive feedback at the end of every lesson which has helped me in improving my skills greatly.

Really appreciate how engaging someone can make learning fretboard notes and strumming basics so enjoyable for my daughter in Civano- James is truly a fantastic teacher.

James introduced me to chord melody guitar. Learning to blend melody and chords on one guitar opened incredible solo performance possibilities for me.
