Guitar Lessons at Orchestra Hall

Specialties

I specialize in «classical» guitar training. This is different than most styles of guitar playing. The two biggest differences between classical and other popular styles is music reading and the playing technique of the right hand. Learning to read music fluently is essential to plying classical music, so I emphasize it from the beginning.

History

Established in 2000.

I moved back to Fort Worth in 2000 and have been teaching guitar ever since. For four years my studio was located on Park Place Avenue. Since 2009 the Studio has been located at Orchestra Hall which is the home of the Youth Orchestra of Greater Fort Worth. Orchestra Hall has been a vibrant center for classical music since the 1960’s.
