I can teach both beginners and advanced players and welcome everyone to take my lessons. I will always make a lesson plan that suits both your age and learning level. I will also make sure we learn at a speed that works for you.

I teach and help both young learners and adults with their playing.
In my oppinion, weekly lessons are by far the best way to improve and learn at a moderate pace.
