I am a senior citizen (a 67 yr old) who has elected to start taking guitarlessons, in my golden years😁. Patrick is my instructor. He is a fantastic teacher/instructor/musician. From the very beginning, Patrick came (via Zoom) well prepared, with a lesson plan, and appropriate instructional materials for a neophyte guitarist. I printed out the materials that Patrick provided for me, and use those during daily practice sessions. Patrick also provides an audio recording and video recording of each session, which allows me to review each lesson, and to access and extract any aspects of the lesson that were challenging, and/or require additional review. These videos allow students to maximize the benefit of their private lessons, and to have access to everything that Patrick has said, demonstrated, or ask of them during the sessions. Another thing that I personally think is exceptional about Patrick is that he knows how to pace his students... he provides enough materials so you can practice your “assignments” , review your lessons, and so you can move ahead, if you are so inclined... I find that I also feel a certain level of pressure being applied to move forward... so I am “chasing” the improvement that Patrick sees for me. I appreciate his lead in this regard, and I believe that it keeps me moving forward, appropriately. In any event, however, Patrick has a positive attitude, temperament, and conveys approval, encouragement, and enthusiasm, towards me, and my progress. 3 thumbs up... 5 stars... a gold sticker...a “10” (on a scale from 1 to 10)...He’s great!!!
