"Alex is an excellent private instructor. He doesn't only teach you the basics but by speaking with him, you feel the passion he has for the music, and thats a really rare find! He makes sure you really understand every aspect of what you are learning and has an amazing amount of patience. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking to improve or want to REALLY learn how to play the guitar." - Lynda A.
