I am 41. Prior to starting lessons with Melvin I had absolutely no experience with the guitar at all. I've been taking weekly lessons with Melvin for 6 months now and I feel I'm making great strides. He tailors the approach such that you work on music that fits your taste. He's very patient and engaging - an excellent teacher. I highly recommend!

Melvin, you such a great guitar instructor! I am so glad to have him as my pro that he understands I have to brush everything I've learned in the past back up after slacking when I decided I want to continue and become a master. I am so glad to be your student because you are just so awesome for me to learn guitar with. Thank you for your time and experience with me! I can't wait to keep learning with you, Melvin!

Melvin Williams is an excellent guitar teacher. I appreciate Melvin's patience, and I like the way he explains things. He uses a variety of instructional methods to help me learn new concepts. Plus, I come away from each lesson with tips for playing the guitar and new practice goals are established for the following lesson. I highly recommend Melvin as a guitar teacher.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
$30 per half hour, or $120 a month for four 1/2 hour lessons.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Start with what they know, and go from there. If they are a complete beginner, my goal is to get them playing something they can recognize ASAP!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I use the internet a lot to keep up with the latest trends, especially youtube.com. Lately I've been taking online courses through udemy and coursera.
