William's Guitar Studio:
Thank you for taking the time to review my listing. Based at my home studio in East Valley, Chandler AZ (ZIP 85226), I’m a professional, classically-trained guitar instructor for young and older adults, children, and retirement age students. I first arrived in the Greater Phoenix Metro Area in 1996 after earning my Bachelor of Music in Music Education, with Magna Cum Laude Honors, from Shenandoah University Conservatory, where I studied classical guitar, jazz guitar, violin, piano, music theory, psychology, and many other related subjects. I have been providing quality music instruction to my students for over 25 years now. I offer training techniques for both acoustic and electric (steel and/or nylon string) instruments for popular music styles as well as formal classical guitar.
