Roland:  “There’s nothing quite like playing music.  I feel fortunate to have been introduced to the guitar at a young age as it’s been a companion throughout my life and a source of rewarding and fun experiences on so many levels.  As a teacher, one of my goals is to share and develop your interest in music, and make guitar playing an enjoyable part of your life.  If you’re considering taking up the instrument for the first time, or wanting to further your current playing, I’ll do my best to understand your goals and interests, and make the lessons informative, fun and enjoyable.”
