Dan Bos

Hello, I’m Dan Bos.  I live in Carpinteria, I’m 30 years old and have been married to my wife Serena for five years.  I have been teaching guitar lessons for 11 years; the last five of which I’ve also been leading worship at Montecito Covenant Church and writing and recording music for my production company Truetone Productions. I began playing guitar in high school after formal music training on the piano and violin.  Although I was able to initially teach myself how to play some basic chords, I quickly realized the value of guitar lessons and enrolled at a local guitar shop.  I continued lessons throughout college and graduated with a BA in Music and Religious Studies.  Over the years I have worked with kids in many capacities from leading backpack trips and driving ski boats at Yosemite Sierra Summer Camp, to leading music at Montecito Covenant Church’s “Noah’s Half-day Camp.”  I love working with kids and especially enjoy the one-on-one interaction and mentoring that guitar instruction offers.
