My name is Manny Martinez and I'm a highly experienced guitar instructor, teaching at my location in downtown Salem. I am accepting new private students for lessons Monday through Saturday. Below are my qualifications.
Qualifications -
I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in guitar from Berklee College of Music in 2006. I've studied with many world renowned teachers, such as Charlie Banacos, Bruce Bartlett, and grammy winner Dave Samuels, amongst others. I've taught guitar for the l
ast 13 years and have played all kinds of gigs in all kinds of places. I've performed with platinum selling artists, and have done studio work (writing and performing) with record producers for major record labels. I still practice every day.
My students have had a great amount of success when committed to these lessons. Everything from simply becoming functional participants of a band just for fun, all the way to being accepted to places like Berklee and MI, qualifying for all county jazz ensembles, and even landing positions in nationally touring bands.
