Vasilis Sarikis - Guitar teacher in Greensboro

Music has been my life since I was a child. I have been teaching for more than 25 years now with the same passion as when I started. For me teaching is about creativity and creating an environment where your unique and individual voice can come out, whatever the instrument. I have started out as a drummer in progressive metal bands and my curiosity and love for sound has led me towards learning the guitar, bass guitar, Middle Eastern and Indian rhythms and instruments, music production from tape to digital, electro-acoustic experiments with noise and feedback, synthesisers, piano, music composition, jazz harmony, minimalism, oud, saz, lute. I love sampling and programming and have spent maybe more time than I should on DAWs. I have qualified as a music teacher in London (Qualified Teacher Status) in 2009 where I continue to work on one to one and seminars.

Christopher Tayler - Guitar teacher in Greensboro

With more than 10 years experience, and a background in education, I am passionate about supporting you as you learn to play the guitar. Playing music from a range of styles, you will learn to read music and develop control over the sound you make. As a teacher, my approach is student-centred, with patience and flexibility. I have taught all ages, from 7 to 70, and helped students play for enjoyment and pleasure as well as achieve strong results in exams. I love sharing the joy of music, and often play duets with my students to build confidence and musicality. I began playing music when I was 7 years old, learning the piano, French horn, and classical guitar, and later gaining musical experience playing in orchestras and ensembles, before studying music at university, learning about theory, composition, and music technology. I have worked in primary schools sharing my enthusiasm for music, and have completed a PG Cert. in education. I love playing and teaching the classical guitar. The range of styles available, from Elizabethan, Baroque and Classical music, to modern styles such as blues, jazz, and latin, mean there is always something new to learn, and every student has their own different unique journey!

Oscar Romero - Guitar teacher in Greensboro

My name is Oscar Romero. I started playing acoustic guitar when I was 11 years old and quickly picked up a passion for the instrument. I played in many bands and churches during my teens and when I graduated high school I wanted to dedicate my life to music. I did a wonderful audio engineering program, and after working on audio for a while, I enrolled in a music university in Mexico City! I studied composition with guitar as my main instrument. I would love to teach beginners to try to be intermediate, and intermediate students to try to go advanced. I believe that one of the most powerful ways to become a better musician is finding something you are passionate about and practice that until it's mastered. I enjoy playing finger-style, playing the melody of the song while playing the bass line. I also enjoy deep-diving into advanced rhythmic parts. Let's jam together!
