FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have taken lessons personally from guitar instructors for about 7 or 8 years. I continue to learn by talking to other professional musicians and teachers that may have specialized knowledge that I currently do not have.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I got started out in college, giving lessons to children and adults back in the mid 1990's. I have always had a passion for music and have been in various musical projects since the late 1980's. Even though I worked other types of jobs over the years, I continued to teach guitar because I felt I could pass on my knowledge of music and guitar techniques to others. It is always a great feeling to reconnect with students that I have taught over the years. Some have even asked me to see them perform music at local venues!
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with students of all ages. I can work with a 4 or 5 year old, teaching him/her basic chords, notes, and nursery rhyme songs. Adults or teenagers are also a large part of my student base. Many of them want to learn their favorite tunes along with soloing techniques, music reading, and music theory fundamentals.
