TESTIMONIALS
I have been taking distance education lessons in guitar with Kevin Downing since late August 2002. I am grateful to him that I have been able to benefit from his experience and input as a first rate guitar teacher and mentor. This has been achieved by telephone and over the Internet. Having the option to learn in this way has been a radical concept for me and very convenient. Lessons by telephone, using the speaker function, have been successful and rewarding and I have always come away feeling inspired and encouraged. Kevin is skilled at what he does and is able to assist with clear directives, evaluating pieces played with his helpful critiques, and is always ready to share from his wealth of experience. The Internet has also been very useful. In between lessons queries can be sent via email and Kevin is always prompt in replying with answers and advice. These methods, in my opinion, are very viable options for continued learning and advancement.
