Introduction: I believe that I am a good patient listener and a great communicator. It's easy to find a guitar teacher who's a great player, but harder to find a guitar player who's a great teacher.
Also, I've introduced the GIVE+TAKE: Six for Six program. For every six guitar lessons a student takes with me, I will donate a new guitar to a disadvantaged child so that he or she may take lessons also. Six lessons. Six strings. Six for six.
While you're _taking_ lessons, you can feel good that you're also _giving_ lessons. The GIVE+TAKE: Six for Six program is inspired by TOMS Shoes founder Blake Mycoskie and his commitment to finding creative solutions to make a difference.
During guitar lessons, I love working with people one-on-one, sharing a skill that I love. And when I'm repairing or building instruments, I love working with my hands to create something tangible and lasting.
