I love to play and teach guitar! 35+ years playing. (See Video!) I get tremendous satisfaction from teaching students and in sharing my knowledge. My specialty is in educating students the theory behind creating songs and in constructing musical notes into chords of various genre from scratch. I have a personal library of written instructional documentation to copy and share with each student. The student will gain a thorough understanding of music and the guitar instrument under my dir...

I already tutor guitar through Wyzant since 2012 and therefore have existing qualifications in teaching General Music theory and guitar. I have recently picked up learning piano over the past 8 months and began teaching piano to my 7-year-old grandniece who can now play several simple nursery rhyme songs on piano. Since I already have a deep understanding of music theory through playing guitar over many years I have extended this ability to learning the piano instrument. I believe I am qualified to teach piano to beginners.

I like Al's approach to training. He wants the kids to be excited to learn, not teach them boring songs like Mary Had a Little Lamb. He is very enthusiastic about teaching and this passes onto the student. Well done.

Albert was a great teacher. My first lesson with him was very informative, I cant wait to go back! He went over music theory in great detail as well as went over chord progression with me. He's very patient and has a TON of knowledge to share! He is very talented and I can see myself learning a lot from him. The best part is that he makes the lesson fun! I can see him being perfect for kids as well as adults. He has patience and knowledge for people of all ages. I am just a beginner player at 26 but hope to be better soon with Albert's expertise! Truly a great find. 5 stars all the way!

Al is great. My seven year old son wanted to learn how to play guitar after watching school of rock. I read through a handful of bios and chose Al. From the beginning we were in constant communication, whether by email or by phone. We scheduled the lesson and he showed up early. He was polite, professional and patient with my son. After one lesson, he didn't want to put down the guitar. It was a mix of teaching and having fun that kept my son son focused on learning. Picking Al was a great choice.

Albert has been very helpful in teaching me the guitar. In just a few weeks I have learned to proficiently play 7 chords! I have also learned to strum one of my favorite songs. So much fun!
