Kevin is an excellent teacher who starts with the fundamentals of learning good techniques first. He is very adaptable at teaching a student in a way that they learn best - whether it's through reading music or playing along with a favorite song. He is also very patient and encouraging which is perfect for me because learning to play has been somewhat daunting for me. I HIGHLY recommend Kevin as an instructor!
