Masters of Music in Classical Guitar Performance
Learn to play guitar the classical way!
For young children and beginners I like to establish the students relationship with music by having fun and showing them how easy it can be to learn to play the guitar. As students advance we start to focus on learning to read notes and playing with proper classical technique. Students will learn an assortment of songs and music. I can also provide a more detailed focus on classical guitar interpretation, technique, and repertoire for college auditions, and competition preparation.
