Private Acoustic Guitar tutoring lessons Melbourne, FL.

Students will learn how to play songs of choice by learning how to play many chords comfortably on the guitar. I teach strumming techniques and rhythm concepts which allows the student to be diverse with there guitar playing. Ear training is looked at very closely to insure relative pitch is understood and hearing is comfortable and accurate for the student. Real time studio recordings are made while students are playing the guitar at there lesson. This allow instant constructive feedback which maintains a positive attitude the student will benefit from while learning to play the guitar.

The true test: wood, strings and fingers. Acoustic guitar is a different beast from their electronically assisted cousins. As with most beginning Guitar students, I learned how to play on an acoustic. While I have ventured on to learn many other instruments, playing the Acoustic Guitar remains my first love (as well as the majority of my income with my solo acoustic show).

I am quite versed in many styles including but to limited to: Jazz, Bluegrass, Folk, Classical, Blues, Reggae, and Funk. My method is very Music Theory based using mostly Classic Rock and Top 40 musical examples. I, some have said, 'inadvertently teach people Music Theory' by explaining HOW a song is written while still keeping it fun. I know from my years of experience teaching kids 7-18 that if a student isn't excited to play, they simply wont. I am an expert at figuring out songs by ear so pick your favorite songs and I'll teach you how to play them! I also have full recording capability should you want to ...

Learn proper technique, how to read sheet music and guitar tabs, how to play scales and chords, music theory, and more!

I specialize in various methods on fingerpicking for all types of music!

In lessons we focus not just on how to play, but on how music is put together on a structural level. We often here words like melody or harmony, but what do those terms really mean? How does one make these things? Once we understand how music is constructed, we can better understand how music is made by the great composers, song writers and players. My job is to help you join the ranks!

I am a music educator with 12 years teaching experience in private lessons, public schools, and private schools. I play many instruments and many different styles. I brake the material down in a way everyone can understand and I don't let students walk away confused about the material or have unanswered questions. I love to teach all age groups and all learning styles.
