I've been working with Alex for a few weeks on both guitar and banjo, and I'm delighted to have him as my instructor.
Alex is a wealth of knowledge! He tailors each lesson to my interests and ability level. His teaching methods have made it easy for me to improve week over week. He's patient and a great listener.
I can confidently recommend Alex for anyone who wants to start (or grow) as a guitarist or banjo player!
