"Alan was the person who inspired me to take up classical guitar. The day I met him, he played one of the Villa Lobos concert etudes that he was working on. I thought it was an amazing piece and that he played very well. A few years passed and I had decided to learn classical guitar as well. He helped me with the basics so that I could audition for Classical guitar at CSU. I managed to get into the program as a music minor and classical guitar has been a part of my life ever since then. He is a great player and a good teacher, if you are interested in guitar I highly recommend working with Alan.” July 9, 2009

Lessons with Alan are fun, productive, and rewarding. He is encouraging and supportive, yet he is not afraid to provide constructive feedback. He has a breadth of guitar skills beyond classical guitar, and his music theory background lays a solid foundation.” May 5, 2009
