While tabs are a great way to start playing music quickly, there may come a time when you encounter something you can’t quite figure out or feel the desire to expand your skills as a musician. While we highly encourage supporting local music teachers, we understand that it’s not always feasible due to various reasons such as scheduling, availability, or financial constraints. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of instructors who are passionate about music and generously share their knowledge with others.
These instructors are just some great individuals who are dedicated to spreading their love for music. While we may not personally know them, we believe in giving them the benefit of the doubt. Consider them as your first step on a lifelong journey of musical growth. Don’t limit yourself to a single source of instruction—continuously explore different avenues of learning.
