Above all he is extremely patient, he never gets frustrated with you and doesn't make you feel that way at all. He understands things take time for some and knows you'll eventually get it. That's how I felt when he tutored me. I've also seen him work with kids as well so I'm looking forward to getting some lessons for my son when he's a little bigger. It's been a couple years since I took his class but I still use his techniques today and am a better guitarist for that. I greatly appreciate and respect this instructor, he's a master guitarist.

Not driving to Santa Clara for private lessons with our teacher on weekdays is awesome. Both our sons have been taking weekly lessons since a young age and love coming for them. They are in book 6 and 9 now and progressing well. The teachers are dedicated, active classical guitar professionals themselves and great role models in the musical journeys of their students. Kids have developed personal relationships with their teachers over the years. Santa Clara location hosts group lessons, ensembles or recitals on weekends for students of both locations. I do recommend these for the all-around musical development of the kids and it encourages socializing with peers. Overall, kudos and high recommendation for California Conservatory of Guitar program if your son or daughter is interested in classical guitar. Learning any musical instrument is not easy so picking good teachers for the journey is important along with parental support and commitment.
