Introduction
I'm a guitar and bass instructor for more than 30 years. I teach classical, fingerstyle, jazz, country, blues, and rock styles and play them fluently. I also can teach music reading, music theory, ear training and songs. A lot of my students like to bring songs they are interested in learning and I learn the songs by ear and teach them to play the songs they love. I am great with younger children (ages 7 and up), teenagers and adults. I am based at Alpha Music in Virginia Beach, VA. Go to the Alpha website to see more pictures, reviews from students and audio and links to audio and video of me teaching and playing. I am also offering remote instruction via FaceTime, Skype, and Zoom.

After exchanging a few emails with Steve and one other potential teacher/coach, I chose to work with Steve. We have been meeting weekly for the last few weeks and the experience has been great! He is very talented, not only on the guitar but in teaching and helping me to progress. I'm an older student (over 50) who has had lessons before during my younger years. My experience with Steve so far (and I expect this will not change) has been wonderful - I look forward to the sessions and my practice is productive. His attitude and approach are supportive and encouraging. I strongly recommend that you give him a try if you are thinking about taking lessons at all.

Steve is an awesome teacher! I'm an adult learner and have never played guitar before. He's extremely patient and he's really good at judging the best pace for an optimal learning experience. I've had a month of lessons with him and plan to continue for as long as there's something new to learn.

After a long conversation and an initial lesson, we are both on the same page as far as my interests in learning guitar. I think we will be a great fit.

Steve is a great teacher. From the basics on up. He is willing to work at your pace and help you get to your goal while reinforcing the good habits and eliminating bad ones. Very knowledgeable. I am enjoying my lessons.
