About Neil S.
Extensive knowledge in various styles of guitar, ukulele, and music theory. I have two degrees in music therapy and psychology.
As an educator, I believe in making the musical experience fun and educational by creating an individualized lesson plan that will provide each student with the best opportunity for success. I have worked with a wide range of students both in age from 4 to 90 years old. Also experience working with students who have learning disabilities.
I believe that music is a life long journey of exploration! We need to learn from everyone, follow no one, watch for patterns, and most importantly work very hard.
