Could not ask for more
Bob is everything I was looking for in a classical guitar teacher. He is very knowledgable, and patient. He knows the music, the composers, and the insight into the music, and he is able to convey that without confusing technical jargon. Always spends the time it takes to "finish" the lesson. Five stars.

Thank you for being so patient with my daughter! She is 6 years old, and shy at times, but you are always patient with her. I feel like she is learning so much in a short amount of time, but more importantly she is excited about her lessons and that is great to see! I also like that you are open to my thoughts as a parent, regarding her lessons. Thank you!
