Meet your Guitar Teach
Deanne Newkirk
- I love teaching guitar – and I’m really looking forward to teaching you! I began learning the guitar when I was 9 years old. Guitar has always been an important part of my life whether performing or playing for my own enjoyment. My uncles were my original inspiration. They played and sang together at events far and wide. They had an amazing blend of guitars and voices and their music really connected with people, including me….that’s how I got hooked!
