About
My work stands out from most lesson programs in a number of ways. If I were to break it down to a basic response to this question, I'd have to say...Commitment We are highly committed to see that each and every student enjoys the lessons, looks forward to their next lesson, and generally learns the guitar in a FUN exciting way. I love my students. I have a passion for seeing that they actually "get it", and I love when my students as I like to say, have a Light Bulb moment. All of a sudden it's as if a little light bulb went off (or should I say, "clicked on")inside their head.

I’m having so much fun, working with Dennis. I’m learning at a pace I didn’t believe was possible, and that I could never reach on my own. Dennis is professional, trustworthy and encouraging. I’m a perfectionist and I don’t have much patience with myself struggling with chords and stuff. But Dennis has patience for both of us, and makes me feel it’s okay not to be perfect (all the time, in every step). It’s practice that gets you there, and Dennis makes that practice FUN! As soon as he leaves my house after a lesson, I immediately pick up the guitar again - and just continue. Lessons are joyful and overwhelming :-) and progress is inevitable. Looking forward to continue our work together.

Wow I didn't expect to have so much fun with guitar lessons! Dennis is an excellent instructor. I'm surprised that I was playing in such little time. Dennis knows how to explain things so they aren't overwhelming and the concepts just click. If you want to learn quickly, have fun then Dennis is your guy.

Can't speak for anyone else, but I can't imagine a better instructor than Dennis...exactly what I was looking for. From the first lesson, I felt comfortable. His depth of knowledge of the guitar and expertise of music in general makes for a pleasant experience. I especially like how Dennis communicates and breaks down each lesson and has a natural patience when answering questions and explaining concepts.

yester day my daughter nasuree had her 1st lesson with dennis after she was done I asked her,if she wanted to check out a few other teacher,before she deceided to make a choice in teacher,her answer was she felt comftable with dennis,so I hired dennis.it's hard to give a review after only one lesson,so I will give a followup after 3 or 4 lessons,she already knows how to read music,plays piano and sings,now she wants to learn how to play guitar. updates will follow on this review. if you want to hear nasuree sing and play you can come and see her perform at La V Vietnamese fusion central ave 441 st.pete Fridays and Saturdays 5:00PM to 10:00 pm

I am a beginner and was interested in someone that was patient, knowledgeable and able to teach a new player and that is just what I received. Dennis is extremely encouraging from the first moment you speak to him and I could tell that I liked him immediately. His style and laid back attitude is the perfect learning environment for any level. I particularly enjoyed the global perspective of guitar playing that made playing seem much easier that I had imagined. My homework is fun and I cant wait for my second lesson.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Unfortunately, Often times folks do not realize, the old saying "Get what you pay for " is so very applicable to the guitar lesson industry. I've had student's come to me after years of lesson's elsewhere, and the time wasted was shocking, not to mention the exspense. See why my students say "Worth every penny" about my program.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    My Client's range in all different situations. All learn basic chord structure, and the ability to play along with most songs, regardless of Genre. I teach everything from Gospel to Rock, Blues, Country and most in between. Some will want to play leads, some just Rhythm, and most need work on their timing of the music. All students from beginner to advanced, share this common knowledge of making a great player. Our methods are thorough, and effective.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Check your references. There are a lot of great players out here that make horrible teachers. Good teachers have great references.
