A brief note about 
Email lessons ( E-Lessons )
 
Electronic lessons have taken place and are used from time to time. This isn't our preferred method of teaching, but take a look at some of the possibilities these lessons offer and some of the reasons why they might help you. Send in a tape or post a video on YouTube to receive a positive critique on your playing. We will point out your strengths as much as we will point out your weaknesses.
At the moment, due to heavy teaching loads, Roland Herrera is only able to offer selective advice on an individual basis via email. Please email for availability...to date Roland has replied to everyone !
