Private Guitar tutoring lessons Georgetown, CT.

The student will be instructed on the basics of proper playing techniques, music theory, and musicianship. They will learn to read music and also play by ear which will make them a well rounded player.

I am versitile in a variety of styles of guitar from rock, metal and pop to classical. Additionally I have experience teaching Suzuki method.

I tried to teach guitar in the same manner in which I teach every instrument. First I teach students the rudiments of the instrument. Also I teach them how to read and a bit of music theory. From that point I like to follow the students lead. They bring in songs that they would like to learn, or possibly how to play lead guitar, or how to finger pick. At every point I try to point out general aspects of music that need to be learned from the material that they choose.

Reading Treble staff, chord shapes, improvisation, finger technique, tablature reading and composition.

My students learn basic note reading, strumming and technique. We have fun writing songs, too! Students can expect to complete Hal Leonard's Guitar Book One, plus Hal Leonard's Easy Pop Melodies, along with plenty of supplemental songs.

I take what I’ve learned from classrooms and stages across the United States and give you the fast track. Although I have a large library of songbooks and theory books, I also have perfect pitch, a skill that allows me to write down the notes as I listen to a song for the first time. This allows us to start playing your requests right away.
