    Introduction
    With over 20 years of experience.... the most important aspect of teaching is being patient and understanding the needs of the individual student no matter what they might be looking for musically.

    Guitar is an instrument that should be taught, from the students perspective, with the assurance that he/she has a teacher able to progressively take them as far as they would like to go in any musical environment!
