Welcome to my FAQ's Page I will try to address as many subjects as I can think of. If you have other questions feel free to ask by clicking here

I encourage potential classical guitarists to do some research on what the instrument is about. The following link click here will give you a general description. I also encourage potential students to search for classical guitar on YouTube.

Classical guitar is a wise choice for a number of reasons.

• 1. Classical guitar teaches the use of the entire finger board which results in a complete knowledge of the instrument and a complete knowledge of standard musical notation.
• 2. The music is highly varied giving the student an appreciation of many different musical genres.
• 3. Nylon strings are easier on the fingers particularly for younger students.

Yes my only requirements are that beginners should be aware that classical guitar is a discipline and that young students have parental involvement in their lessons, in this instance a parental interview may be required.

No, my specialty is classical guitar. That being said, many guitarists from different styles benefit greatly from the disciplined nature of classical guitar instruction.
