Dylan is by far the best guitar teacher I’ve had! His lessons are insightful and relatable. He constantly pushes me to explore the instrument in new and exciting ways. I would highly recommend Dylan if you’re looking for an instructor who just gets it!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I book in 4 lesson or Monthly Cycles. The student is required to pre pay for each cycle. I found that this helps students stay committed to their goal for the cycle. Their time slot will be blocked off which encourages consistency and growth.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My process starts with a phone call to get to know the student. What drew them to instrument? What is their experience? What do they hope to learn? From there we will set up a time for a trial lesson to assess our ground floor, any pain points, and the goal for the first cycle of learning.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been studying and playing music for over twenty years. I grew up in Los Angeles where I played in a variety of bands, I went to an LAUSD Arts High School, I studied Jazz Studies at California State University Northridge, I have been a professional touring musician for over ten years playing bass, guitar, keyboard
