    About Rhody A.

    5.0
    (3)
    Having spent the last decade traveling the world and then going cross country in the U.S., I have seen many beautiful things that tint my life a pretty shade. My music is a facsimile of the world I experience around me, and I am heavily influenced by it's beauty. My goal is to get the beauty YOU experience out of you and into the world with your instrument as your vessel. The cello and guitar are perfect instruments for the task! With over 20 years of playing and 8 years of teaching experience, I am the ideal candidate to guide you to crafting music of your own. Just say the word!

    When I picked up guitar again for the first time in a decade, I wasn’t sure I would be up to the challenge. But every step of the way, Rhody has been communicative, patient, and a hoot to work with! From walking me through music theory fundamentals (sometimes over and over), to helping me understand tempo, Rhody has helped me gain confidence in myself as a musician! I can’t recommend him as a teacher enough.

    I had picked up the cello last August with absolutely 0 experience with strings. I had one other teacher when I first began and unfortunately needed to take a break due to financials. Fast forward to this year and I had quite accidentally found Rhody's information but I am so glad that I did! He is a fun, patient and knowledgeable teacher. He explains things in a very simplistic way and makes sure you're both on the same page. He understands that life gets in the way of practice sometimes but kindly pushes you to keep trying and keep practicing (that IS the only way we'll get better, y'all). Since I've started practicing and learning through Rhody, I feel like I actually understand how the music is ought to be played...and that's a sure step in the direction of truly understanding such a beautiful instrument. I could go on but I'll leave it with this: please go through Rhody! You won't find a better teacher!
