About William
Thank you for taking the time to visit my site. I’m a professional, classically-trained guitar instructor in the East Valley. 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,…

For 15 years, I’d failed to stick with guitar through various teachers and self-teaching attempts. When I moved to Phoenix I started taking lessons with William. I’ve now been taking lessons with him for over 2 years.
William has guided me through all of my shifting interests. Starting with rock/blues guitar, then a foray into classical guitar and now into jazz. He has masterfully kept an emphasis on the fundamental techniques and theory needed to support teaching me the things I’m interested in.
William never fails to judge my mood and attention span on any given day and adjust his approach accordingly. If I’m mentally exhausted, we might learn a simple but fun song. Other days he will push me to learn things I previously thought beyond my skill level.
This April, I moved cross-country and William transitioned seamlessly into giving me online lessons.
On top of that, William is a great person and I now consider him a friend as well as a teacher.

I’ve been a self taught student via the internet for about a year and a half. I recently moved to Phoenix and decided to take a stab at taking lessons. I’ve been taking lessons with William for one month and I can honestly say, I’ve learned more in my first lesson then I’ve learned in the year and half I’d been playing on my own. I was blown away with his patience, knowledge, and passion for teaching guitar.
William is definitely worth more than what he charges. His lessons have super-exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend taking lessons with him. There’s so much information he teaches regarding reading music, the best way to hold the guitar, proper technique, learning scales, the best way to hold a pick and proper equipment selection based on your style.
I can go on and on, but the bottom line is, choosing William as a teacher will be a sound investment in your guitar playing and I promise you will not be disappointed.
