Experience Summary
I am passionate for all things musical from music theory to musical instruments. This comes out in my teaching and tutoring. I have been teaching theory, piano, guitar and drums with my own curriculum for twenty years. I graduated with double BA in Music Education and Music Performance in classical guitar from Florida International University in 1997. I have owned my private music lesson business since 1999 and now look forward to working with additional students through Wyzant.
Musically, on a more personal note, as a guitarist I have played with many musicians and also headlined the Black River Falls Festival with my former band and released 3 CDs. After some heavy listening to Johnny Cash, I am now on a outlaw country rock solo album venture. If you are interested, check out reverbnation.com/alexdiaz4
