My name is Jim Bowley and I’m a private guitar teacher based out of Bel Air, Maryland. Thanks for checking out my site!
Finding quality guitar instruction for yourself or your child is often a tricky proposition. There are plenty of great guitarists out there, but most of them, quite honestly, are players, not teachers. Sure, they know a bunch of chords. They can probably play some pretty impressive guitar solos. They might have even been a member of the latest and greatest local band. But a quality guitar lesson is one in which YOU learn to play the guitar. Can this person actually communicate good information, analyze your strengths and weaknesses accurately, and coach you to meet your musical goals?
A quality guitar teacher should ideally be a great player, also; but he/she should be able to communicate concepts and skills clearly, evaluate your technical skills and troubleshoot problems, create a warm and friendly environment, and inspire you to greatness. In my guitar studio, we dare to be great and we have fun in the process!
Throughout my site, you’ll get plenty of good information to help you in your guitar journey. I’ve included a detailed bio and resume in this section (About Jim) so you can learn more about me and my musical adventures. There is also a Guitar Lessons section, which gives you my basic philosophy on teaching guitar and some specifics on pricing and scheduling.
On the Blog page, you can read my latest posts, including student success stories, reviews, quick tips and free guitar lessons. The Students Speak page features testimonials from students and parents alike. And for added fun, there is a Guitar Talk page, which is for the gear heads and guitar junkies!
