"I am a grown man who never forgot how to play. My purpose in life is to help people see that their potential exceeds their experience or beliefs. Sharing music lessons is a potent way for me to do that." -Justin Leflar
My Philosophy -
I am not a music teacher who gives you a method book or drills and then scolds you each time you make a mistake.
I am not YouTube videos that demonstrate something and then expect you to figure out how to do it.
I am able to find where you are at in your progression as a musician and help you develop the skills that you want to learn.
I am able to show you the things that you don’t know you don’t know.
My Experience -

Sunny Downpour - Folky Americana (www.sunnydownpour.com)
