Walter Campos
About
Hey everyone! My name is Walt and I'm a guitar and bass instructor whose biggest passion is playing and teaching music to people who are passionate about it too! I graduated from Adelphi University with a Bachelor of Science in Music but more importantly, I've gained tons of experience over the years by playing live, teaching and writing music. I teach many styles and I truly believe that teaching songs/musical etudes are the best ways to learn. That means if you want to learn a particular technique, I've got just the song or musical passage for you! If you want to learn more theory, songs are the best way! It's not just about exercises, although sometimes that does help. Ha ha! I very much look forward to meeting you and sharing the gift of music here!
Teaching Style
I teach Rock, Blues, Classical and many genres and sub genres. I love to talk theory, ear training and the elements of music but in a fun way through songs which is what it's all about, right? Sometimes teachers seem to forget the goal! Everyone learns differently and I like to find out how you learn so we can have the best lesson experience possible.
