He quickly found where I was at and immediately was able to give me music that was challenging yet fun to play. I had learned on my own but was without direction. He knew what I needed and got me on a path to learning quickly.
I felt that Speedy was patient and understood how to teach to encourage continued enjoyment.
Wonderful with beginners! Very patient. Had a great experience. Thank you!
