    About Bo W.

    (10)
    With over 40 years of professional playing on small and large stages I am able to offer my students a diverse range of educational resources. I am still playing actively in bands in surrounding area. *** Lesson Details *** I am easy going and I want you to feel comfortable and at ease, but we do need to focus & can have fun doing it. I utilize various methods , which is determined by the students learning style & needs, so this can change as time goes on (not sticking to one particular publishers materials). I have done (& continue to do) extensive research into materials available for Piano and supplement with my own, to utilize the best out there for "YOU" for the best possible progress. While ensuring an extremely well-rounded musical education, so you can progress at the best possible rate. Since each student's potential is different, each will progress differently. This is also determined by your dedication to daily practice (the more you practice, the quicker you will progress & the more accomplished you will become). This is a 'Team Effort'; I give the guidance & tools, and you practice, utilize & learn these tools, & off we go! The sky is the limit!!! :-D *** Studio Equipment *** Keyboard with stand Recording with Sonar X2, assorted mics. I also can do demo recordings and one sheets for professionals. *** Travel Equipment *** Travel up to 16 miles Portable keyboard with stand and chair *** Specialties *** Pop, Country

    Bo is very patient but makes sure that he challenges his students. You definitely learn from him.

    Bo has been an excellent keyboard teacher for my son. He is very patient with my 9 year old, and I highly recommend him.

    I started classes March 2015 and can honestly say Bo is an excellent instructor. He is very patient especially with someone who had no experience. He has a diverse range of taste in music so if you don't want to pay classical he can teach you the blues, jazz, rock, etc. I would definitely recommend this instructor for anyone from no experience to experience.
