    About Jason Y.

    Master of Arts degree (concentration: Music Education) Bachelor of Music degree (concentration: Jazz Guitar) I have been teaching private guitar lessons for over a decade, catering to a very wide range of student age, skill levels, and musical interests. I am currently authoring a guitar method book for Alfred Publishing. *** Lesson Details *** My overall philosophy is that a student should do more playing/practicing than listening to a teacher explain/demonstrate. I teach ALL skill levels...from total beginners to advanced (college-level). I prefer beginners be at least 7 years old. I teach ALL styles....rock, jazz, classical, country....anything with guitar. My lessons are customized around the fundamental skills of music-learning as well as student interests. Each lesson is different for each student. I will provide all musical materials (you don't have to buy a book). *** Studio Equipment *** My studio is not a room in my home. It is a separate building from my home that I built with my own 2 hands. I use it for teaching and recording. It is fully equipped with many amps and guitars. *** Travel Equipment *** Guitar and lesson materials. No amp *** Specialties *** jazz, classical guitar high-level music theory
