Introduction: I am a Berklee College of Music graduate with over twenty years teaching experience. Since 2006 I have been providing personalized guitar and drum lessons in the homes of many students. I have taught kids, teenagers and adults from beginner to advanced level in many different styles. The thing I enjoy the most about teaching is knowing that what I am helping a student achieve is enhancing their life in some way whether it is just playing as a hobby or preparing them for a public performance.

George has done a great job teaching drums to my 9 year old son. I find it very convenient he comes to us and my son is getting get use of his electronic drum set we had purchased for him. George is very professional and works well with kids. I would highly recommend him!

Details: 6 - 9 years old • 0 - 2 yrs of formal training • Understands note durations and rests • What the teacher recommends • What the teacher recommends • Yes, the student already has drums • 30 minutes • My home, venue, etc.

I am a beginner in my mid 30s. I've had 3 lessons for guitar so far with George and have learned a lot. Very knowledgeable (Theory, reading music, tab, etc..), patient, helpful, and teaches well. Shows up on time and is communicative. Excited to continue to learn more! Highly recommend!

He had been really good so far, teaches my 5 year old and has been able to generate the interest for drumming. Really recommend him for any age group.

As an adult beginner, there are some challenges and George understands that. He breaks down what I need to learn in simple steps. These steps will bring me to the next level of playing guitar.

George has been great from the start. He's professional, prompt and great with communication. His easy-going style has our son very engaged and eager to learn. His drumming has progressed much more quickly than we could have hoped and we're all very happy.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My current rate for new students starts at $35 per half hour if the student is within local proximity to my area. If the student is not within a 20 mile radius of me the rate would be $40. I offer a free trial lesson for the first week and lesson payments can be made on a week to week basis. Skype lessons are currently $30 per half hour.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always start off a new customer with a free trial lesson not only to help grow my business but also to ensure that the student is truly ready to commit to weekly lessons.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a Berklee College of Music graduate with over twenty years of teaching experience.
