Location Options: In Studio, In Home, In Webcam Genres: Rock, Blues, Jazz, Classical, Country, Acoustic Age Groups: Children, Young Adult, Adult Instruments Taught: Guitar Lessons Overview: Music has been a passion in Lance's heart from day one. His motivation and mission is simple. His music will touch people hearts and draw them closer to a personal relationship to music. Born in Hollywood he gave his life to the Lord when he was 14 living in Oregon. When he moved back to California he was in a rock and roll band in high school which led him to backslide. Thrown out of a window, in a truck accident in which the truck rolled over on him, Lance was supposed to have his right arm amputated at age 16. That he now has near full use of this arm and can play guitar with the best of them, is a testimony that God has a plan and a plan that fulfills his heart's desire for music and to serve the Lord.
