About Cheryl C.
4.8
(15)
I will teach you to SUCCEED at reading music, learning songs, playing melody and chords and progressively acquiring skills as a musician and guitarist!
Learning an instrument teaches focus and goal setting strategies, develops self-direction and self-esteem, plus the added benefit of developing the brain for academic achievement.
Acoustic guitar lessons are perfect for home schooled children or as a supplement to public or private school music programs. I reach my students with the right balance of personalized attention, patience, practical training, and positive encouragement.
I specialize in teaching music and guitar to children ages 7 through 18 including college prep for auditions. I hold a music degree from Montclair State University and have over 15 years of teaching experience.
I have been a musician for over 30 years. In addition to guitar, I'm a vocalist, composer and arranger as well as a music publisher. I actively perform as both a classical guitarist and singer-songwriter.

I had four teachers before I finally struck gold. Cheryl C. knows what she’s doing and how to teach it, step by step. I have high goals, and she’s taking me there.
