Durant, FL Acoustic Guitar Lessons

I studied music extensively in college, and I now have two Masters Degrees in a field that I love and learn from every day! Be as good as you can be. Learn how to practice, study, and apply the necessary skills to perform with the utmost proficiency. Lessons are fun, practical, and poignant. I keep it simple but am known to challenge my students to be the best I know they can be :)

I will adapt lesson style to your needs. If you want to learn how to sight read music, we will work with the Hal Leonard Guitar Method for Beginners. For children, I use the FJH Beginner Guitar Method series. If you want to learn to play chords and play your favorite songs, then we will use Guitar for Absolute Beginners by the NYC Guitar School. Along with these books we will also choose some of your favorite songs and learn to play them.

I can teach finger picking, sight reading, songs, and reading tab. Acoustic guitar is a wonderful way to start learning to play the guitar because you learn how to make the sounds naturally with the instrument.

Each lesson is designed on the level of the student's ability from beginner to advanced. Rock, R&B, funk, jazz, blues, POP and country music. I like to use song learning as a vehicle to sharpen your skills. Learning skills through songs is more fun for beginners. More advanced students will work on everything from theory, reading, harmony; and how you can use scales and arpeggios in a number of ways over several different styles of music.

I have been playing acoustic and electric for fifteen years and have been teaching guitar for three years. I teach a combination of classical and rock guitar playing. With an emphasis on the practical application of music theory scales, chords, and rhythm.

As experienced instructor and online course designer that I have created, designed and developed programs and courses for universities, music academies and privates students from all ages.
As musician I have performed and participated in music festival, cultural events, radio stations and tv shows like "Sabado Gigante".

My idea is not to be just a teacher but a friend who will accompany, guide, and motivate you through your learning process.

Time is gold. I will make sure we don't waste it.

Are you looking for a great guitar teacher who will push you to be your best self? Students who take lessons with me are given specialized curriculums to suit their personal guitar goals and make sure they get the most out of their money. Lessons with me are slightly different because of my background. I started out playing classical guitar and this has shaped my guitar learning experiences, which in turn changed the way I teach. I come at things from a musical theory standpoint, with precision and a focus on improvement through better technique and a solid foundation in the basics. Send me a message and we can start learning together!

I studied at Berklee College of Music, and can teach Rock, Jazz, Folk, Blues, modern Fingerstyle Acoustic, and Music Theory. I like teaching students through the music that they feel passionate about, which I think encourages the most advancement.
