Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I have compiled a set list of about 50 songs, not including originals, to make for about 3 hours of live entertainment! My list consists of popular tunes ranging from the 60's and 90's, as well as instrumental pieces and classical pieces. I carry all of my own equipment necessary for gigging, which includes a Fender Acoustasonic 30 DSP combo amp (which powers both my amp and microphone) with built in effects. an AKG condenser mic, mic stand, music stand, an RC-3 looper pedal which holds my backing tracks and drum tracks, and two acoustic guitars. In the past, I have played at the Orando Veg Fest, Foosaner Art Museum, Off the Traxx in Dowtown Melbourne, and Pizza Gallery in Viera. I am ready to perform on weekends, and can usually accommodate for future gigs, as my job is pretty lenient for me requesting gig days off. Will travel! And I look forward to playing at your event or establishment. I also teach guitar lessons! I have studied the guitar under the tutelage of several guitar instructors, each teaching from different approaches. I have been exposed to different teaching methods, and know what works and what doesn't. With me as your teacher, I will be able to identify your goals as a musician, create a game plan to meet those goals, and then provide you with the materials to ensure your success. I create my own tablature and backing tracks on my computer, and will make many of my material available as digital copies to avoid messy paperwork and make less stress for you. I have been playing and singing for live audience since the tender age of 15. I know how to set the mood to fit my audience! I also show up in a timely manner, and exude and confidence and kindness to both the venue owners and audience. For my guitar lessons, I teach in a way that is concise and catered to the individual is one of my strong points. I love seeing the progress of a student, and I most enjoy being able to play along with my students on a piece where we are equally competent. I am passionate about guitar and music in general, having been invested in this path for more than a decade. I love to pass on my knowledge of music to other people, and to see them also develop a greater understanding and appreciation for music.

Gail makes learning fun. She loves what she does and wants her student to learn and enjoy music. Her enthusiasm is contagious.

Very dedicated teacher, lots of encouragement. She started me right off on "real music", teaching me "The Times They are A-Changin" by Bob Dylan, and "Ripple", by The Grateful Dead. She has me practicing my bottom off, trying to keep up. I am 62 yrs old, so it's been hard to keep up, but that's good!

So far Emily has been great - she provides materials in advance, is clearly knowledgeable, and conducts my lessons on Skype while I am out of the country. She is good enough that I have hired her to do lessons with my teenage son.......

Emily is great with my third grader who is just starting out ... Patient ... Encouraging ... She takes time to make him CDs and learn songs he likes to peak his interest. She goes the extra mile, is prompt, professional and very positive! She comes right to the house which makes weeknight lessons a breeze for our family!!
