About UBG

Jimmy the Teacher

I started playing guitar at 12 years old. After getting that first guitar for Christmas, I was devoted to learning, playing and performing. I learned from others about different means of playing, which satisfied the performance aspect of what I wanted. I traveled around the country honing my skills, but never feeling fulfilled. After my adventures, going to various venues and learning more about the music industry, I decided to create my own recording studio and music school. I think it is so important for a student wanting to learn music to learn in a way that's specific to them as that is what I wanted when I first started to learn my instrument. I offer private guitar lessons and singing lessons to be able to offer inspiration and insight into the world of music to all of my students. Each lesson is tailored to help the student achieve their goals while focusing on my professional training approach. These personalized lessons allow not only me to get to know them, but also for them to get to know me and build a connection within the music industry. This sets the foundation for their confidence in learning and playing. I am dedicated to teaching my students, just as much as they are dedicated to learning.

I recommend 60-minute lessons on a weekly basis for maximum progress. For those interested in guitar, I emphasize the importance of developing your skills correctly from the beginning, primarily on the acoustic guitar to ensure you become a much better musician when transitioning to the electric guitar. I look forward to helping you reach your musical goals!
