“I am an enthusiastic and friendly guitar teacher who believes that lessons can be both fun and productive. “
James Garcia
Through the wonderful journey of my adult life, teaching guitar has been a true pleasure to me. I have helped children grow into professional adult musicians and attend the finest music colleges. I have seen the retired who always had dreamed of playing but never thought they had it in them play beautifully on stage. I have made lifelong friends from all over the world. I have ample references from my students if interested.
Although Classical and Flamenco guitar are my specialties, I teach most styles such as Singer Songwriter, Rock, Jazz Reading Music, Technique, Music theory and so on. I don’t generally teach electric guitar in that I am by nature an acoustic finger picker.
I aim to be flexible and work around student schedules as much as possible.
PRIVATE LESSONS
- $30.00 for a half hour
- $55.00 for an hour
- I normally do lessons on a month-to-month basis, for example a half hour lesson would be $120.00 for a month and we would meet at the same time every week. Or simply a single lesson for the hourly price.
