Phillip M., Guitar Teacher, Chicago
(773) 360-0204
About Me:
I believe that learning music should be interesting, engaging, and enjoyable to the student. Therefore, I always tailor each lesson to the needs and interests of the specific student. I also believe that enthusiasm is much more important than natural talent in the success of each student. Anyone can learn to play music if they are enthusiastic and willing to work a little.
