    About Jesse S.

    5.0
    (20)
    My name is Jesse and I graduated from the University of Southern California with Cum Laude Honors in 2015. I have a decade and counting worth of experience as a professional guitarist. I teach students of all levels in Jazz, funk, rock, and pop music. As your teacher, it is my job to help students achieve goals through tailoring lessons towards their learning styles and their work/school schedules. In the first lesson, we will cover your goals, and I’ll design lessons and weekly assignments to help you achieve them. Each week will have key objectives and goals that I will lay out for you to meet based on your accomplishments from the week before. Although there is structure within my teaching philosophy, within that structure exists flexibility to adjust lesson plans and goals as needed along the way.
