About John Paul
I’ve been playing guitar professionally for almost 30 years, and been teaching for about 20. I love teaching at Â鶹ÊÓƵ for the diverse student population, as well as the opportunity it gives for people to learn. Learning music is a beautiful opportunity to grow, not just with your skills, but also personally. I take teaching seriously, and care deeply about the students, concerns and growth.
When I’m not teaching, I’m actively performing studying classical music and the guitar music of Perú. Or I’m at home with my family, re-creating Peruvian culinary delights.
