My name is Alex . I am originally from New Orleans, Louisiana. I moved to Texas in 2004. I have been playing guitar now for almost 9 years. I have been able to work with many different types people in various music genre. I started on acoustic guitar for the first 3 or 4 years or so of my guitar experience. And several years ago started playing more electric guitar. I have had over 4 years of music lessons by professional musicians and guitar players. Shortly after I started playing electric guitar and a lot of my friends started asking me how to play. Long story short, over time I grew a passion for teaching people music and how to play guitar. Music is what I love and I devote my life to be very good at it and learning to teach people in ways that impact them the most. Formal Education: High school GED for Trinity Christian School a couple basic college courses. Working towards a degree in Audio Engineering. Private Education: David Elam: guitar teacher over at CFNI. He has teaching there for many years and have been teaching people about guitar for almost 12 years. I received 2 years of lessons from him. Most of what I learned from him was fundamentals of guitar and music theory, rhythm, and some song writing skills. Krisz Simonfalvi: Solo artist, amazing guitar player and producer. Teaches guitar for a living for more than 15 years. I have received lessons from Krisz shortly after having 2 years with David Elam. What I learned with Krisz was taking everything I Knew to the next level. I learned from him intermediate to college level theory and more advanced song writing skills. Performing Experience: The majority of my performing experience has been in a church. The church I play at though is a very large so I have had the opportunity to work in a very professional environment. I have been playing there 3 or 4 times a week for over 4 years. We play a very large genre of music there. Experience Teaching: I started teaching people when I was in high school. when I started giving lessons to make money I went to David and Krisz to receive instruction on how to become a great teacher. I mainly teach from my home and church. I have taught one on one and groups as well. I am comfortable doing either one. I have taught lessons over skype and I have had great success doing that. I feel confident to say that I can teach anyone to play the guitar but the age I most often teach is young kids and adults.
