My son loves going to learn guitar with Alex. We are thrilled with his progress, and Alex encourages him to ask for lessons to play the music he likes. If we have any need to change the lesson time, Alex is happy to work with us. Such a great experience, don’t hesitate to hire Alex!

I've been working with Alex for the last 3 months to play Blues electric guitar. It takes work and dedication to learn how to play a guitar. Alex has been a great instructor and he likes to guide you in the right direction to maximize interest in learning how to play guitar. He knows what he is doing and can give you the right direction to achieve good habits and maintain interest. If you want to invest the time to play guitar well, I would suggest you contact Alex.

STOP. Your search is over. DONE. Simply calling Alex a "teacher" and labeling the time I spent with Alex "lessons" just isn't fair at all to the definitions of those words - because what I encountered with this guy is ABOVE AND BEYOND any lessons I've ever had. Learning from him was a true EXPERIENCE that was driven by his unparalleled passion for guiding my skill set to a completely different level. The guy is truly inspiring. With other teachers, practicing between lessons was a last minute thing that I would reluctantly cram into my week (typically minutes before my next lesson) just so I wouldn't look like an idiot for my next lesson. But with Alex, practice sincerely became a priority in my life. Alex instills his enthusiasm and passion into every lesson which stuck with me LONG after the lesson was over. I'm the best guitar player I have ever been because of Alex. YOUR TURN.
