I have the greatest admiration for Eric Cabalo, our son’s guitar teacher. He has a gift for accurately reading our, sometimes, very complicated child. No one doubts the special talent of a skilled musician. When you observe Eric Cabalo teaching music, you do not doubt his talent for TEACHING music as well!
