When selecting a teacher, make arrangements to meet in person to review short and long term goals of learning a musical instrument. Pricing should only be used as the last criteria before making a final decision. It's important to insure your instructor is patient and willing to challenge students to setup a practice routine that will fit their current schedule.

If a student needs an instrument, have instructor give recommendations based on the musical styles they are interested in learning.

Students often ask how long it will take to learn to play a Guitar.

We go over timing, music theory, and technique. For intermediate players we sight read songs and practice more complicated music with multiple voices. I am flexible in terms of the skill level of my students. Every student I will be taught according to their skill level and needs.
