BYRON THE TEACHER
"If you want to learn how to play the guitar through understanding
and music literacy, there could possibly be no better teacher."
-Jo K.
(TO CHECK OUT SOME STUDENT TESTIMONIALS, SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM)
Byron has taught many hundreds of musicians, from beginner to working professionals in every genre and on almost every instrument, as a contract artist for the State of California, at the academically elite Deep Springs College as well as in clinics in schools and colleges and privately.
His teaching style is accellerated and geared toward bringing out the best in the student by providing the nuts-and-bolts reality the student needs for musical expression and to compete in todays world, whether the subject be Theory, Composing / Arranging / Orchestration, Filmscoring, Improvisation or any style of Guitar, or...or...or.
He's on faculty at CCM in Pasadena, and also teaches THE WORLD'S BEST PRIVATE LESSONS ONLINE. Go to 'CONTACTS' to inquire.
