backstage pass
Students will participate in five trial lessons to experience the program firsthand. At the end of the 5 weeks, we’ll determine together if you should continue on as a full-time student.
This trial period allows you to try out program without a full commitment. It also gives me the opportunity to assess your practice habits and commitment level.
"Even if things don't work out, at least we had the chance to jam together for a bit!"

So, Who Exactly is Don???
Here is a brief overview, check it out!
What people have to say about don
Don is a pro and a very patient teacher. I never played an instrument before picking up the guitar much later in life and Don taught me a lot from basics and lessons were tailored specifically towards me. I highly recommend Don and Rockstar Academy!
MaryEllen Geragotelis
Don is very good at breaking things down to meet the student at his/her level, and works methodically and systematically with students to build their essential skill base. There is no substitute for experienced teaching!

I found Don after years of playing and trying to teach myself but never progressing. Immediately Don assessed my abilities, where I wanted to go with my guitar playing and within the first week we had a great curriculum started with my needs as priority. I recommend Don very highly.
