About Me
You have something special, you have greatness within you. The desire to be great is what shapes a great musician. If you make a commitment to being great at your craft, I will make sure you will have the awareness and the tools you need to enjoy the ride of progression. My goal is to work myself out of a job (i.e., way down the road) and watch you pay it forward with your great musical skill...

Experience Teaching:

Started in 2005. While living in Caracas, Venezuela, I turned to this skill into the ability to eat due to a miscommunication with my work visa, and musically directed two Venezuelan children and their older adolescent brother through beginning voice and acoustic guitar lessons. My most recent student was a female in her mid-twenties. After American Idol, she wanted to learn guitar with the goal of writing and creating her own brand of songs...

Review:

Tony C

Tony taught my son guitar, song writing and singing. He did an excellent job. He was able to engage my son and get him interested in the learning process. Both me and my son enjoyed the experience with Tony. Mike Tierney wrote on Tue, 20 Sep 2016

    Anthony C, Music Instructor Position

    Tony was my fitness instructor at Life Time Fitness in St. Paul for nearly 3 years. He was exceptional. Not only did he have an excellent knowledge of a wholistic approach to physical fitness and health care, he was also motivational for me and others that he worked and I got to know. He's intelligent, interesting, fun and very good at his job. I am sorry he left to pursue his passion in music but I understand and wish him the best. I strongly recommend Tony for your position.

      Anthony C

      Tony was kind, considerate and listened to my child's needs. He let my son direct where the lessons went thus keeping my junior high son interested.(Not an easy task) He was always onetime and respectful to me. I would recommend Tony as music instructor.
