Kipp Kahlia is a music educator based in Long Beach, California. She has years of experience as an instructor teaching group classes as well as giving private lessons. She speaks English and Spanish. "When I began to learn to play the guitar," says Kipp, "I found it frustrating because I had such a hard time finding teachers who would teach me what I wanted to know. I wanted to be a real guitarist, but I eventually had to enroll in a first-class music school to get the kind of information and training I wanted. Now, I enjoy passing that information on to other "hungry" players -- it's great to watch their faces light up when they've gotten what they needed."
