Laveen, AZ Acoustic Guitar Lessons

Hi, there! I've been teaching private lessons since 2010 and have loved helping my students learn how to read music, perform in groups at a higher level, and compose their own music. I have a teaching style that is engaging, fun, and effective. I look forward to helping you reach your goals!

If you desire to learn Acoustic guitar in a practical format that will allow you to learn and grow very quickly then I am the perfect teacher for this. You can learn Popular Songs, Worship Music, original Songwriting and much more.

I teach you a REAL rock, pop or country song that YOU want to learn. I tailor each lesson to each individual students songs THEY Want to learn. I don't waste time on outdated guitar lesson books or "Mary Had a LIttle Lamb" or drilling you on scales that you don't need to know YET. Let's play a song together

I have been playing guitar for nearly 10 years. I focus on good technique and studying the instrument beyond just campfire chords.

I have been playing and learning music since I was in the 3rd grade. I can read and write the language of music . I have used that knowledge to teach myself other instruments. Guitar is my Third instrument and I love to sing and play cover songs and create my own. I want to teach that skill to others. Join me for a fun and rewarding lesson so you can reach your musical goals.

Whether you want to learn to play your favorite songs, learn to play with a band, solo with anything, or adapt different styles of music into your own creation, I can help you get there. I've written and played solo classical guitar and played with several different bands. Maybe you can already play a lot, but don't understand what you're playing, I've got a degree in Music Theory to help you understand everything you don't know. If you want to learn the ins and outs of guitar, sign up and we'll get you started on the road to rock!

My lessons are catered to the individual student. Typically half of the session is spent on technique/fretboard harmony and the other half is spent on learning music/songs. I have found it is best for younger students (12 and under) to learn from a book - for added structure).

My instruction involves healthy, ergonomically sound, efficient, time-tested playing techniques combined with customized lesson plans, including original instructional materials, established texts, theoretical education, and material chosen by the student.

I offer training for acoustic as well as electric (steel and/or nylon string) instruments and provide instruction in popular music styles as well as formal classical.

Quality practice coaching will make a profound difference in your ability to learn and play music effectively, but it takes time. That's why I offer full hour lessons at a reasonable price ($49). Practice well and you will play well.
