Guitar Instructor & Owner
Feb, 2009 - PresentPrivate Guitar Lessons with Jimmy (McDonough, GA)
Since 2009, I began teaching out of my home studio to expand my business as an instructor into the McDonough area of Henry County. This would include being able to be closer to prospective students coming from Jonesboro, Locust Grove, and even Conyers. This has given me the ability to utilize more teaching tools that are readily available in my home studio for the benefit of my students. The large majority of my students are at this location.
