Piano with Cara B.

Greetings fellow music-lovers! I hold a Bachelor's degree in music, and I come from a multi-instrumental background. If you want to learn guitar AND piano AND ukulele AND... you get the picture -- you're in the right place. I've taught lessons for over 10 years, and I'm happy to accommodate your learning preferences to your lesson. It's all about you and what you want to learn. I do have a background in classical training, so I'd encourage our lessons to incorporate some formal training with a lesson book to work on technique and learning basic music skills. Additionally, I will supplement this training with the things you want to learn. With a bit of practice and encouragement, I'm sure I can help you reach your musical goals. Let's unwrap your musical potential! *** Lesson Details *** Lessons will be tailored to your needs and wants specifically. Each lesson is different, so I can't give an exact "recipe" of what a lesson looks like. I do like to spend some time focusing on technique, and I value musicality as well, so I'll make sure you're not just robotically going through the motions. *** Studio Equipment *** I own guitars -- classical, acoustic, and electric -- as well as a piano, piano accordion, and ukulele. I will use these instruments to demonstrate techniques and songs I teach you. *** Travel Equipment *** I expect students to have their own instruments on which to practice. I prefer students to purchase a method book if necessary, but I also am willing to send copies of learning material electronically. I will also provide my own instrument to use for demonstration. *** Specialties *** I specialize in various forms of rock guitar, including pop, rock, indie, metal and blues. I also specialize in classical guitar, including fingerstyle. I focus mainly on traditional and classical piano, but I also play rock, pop, and blues. I also can teach basic piano accordion.
