Derek McNamara is a graduate of Towson University with a Bachelor’s degree in Music. He has been playing guitar for over a decade and enjoys teaching students of all ages, offering information and material that challenges them to think about music in new ways. He believes that lessons should be tailored to each individual student’s personal interests so that they retain the desire to learn and are motivated to practice and improve at their instrument. In his free time Derek plays multiple instruments, writes, records and produces music with his band, Pretty O.P., as well as for other artists.
