Solo Guitar recording, b.style
"I teach fingerstyle guitar techniques which make the guitar more like a piano, with styles that range from Blues to modern Jazz and everything in between."
"My favorite music quote comes from one of my mentors, John LaPorta – “Words pale next to the experience of music”. So I know that no matter how eloquently I speak on music it can’t replace experiencing music, so I try to give my students that musical experience as often as possible."
"I am a mentor more than a strict disciplinarian. I love my students as if they were my children, and I try to help them to grow in the direction they’ve chosen so that they can fulfill their dreams and contribute back to society."
