Private Guitar tutoring lessons New Smyrna Beach, FL.

For the last five or so years of teaching students I've been very rewarded with seeing my students achieve there musical goals. from songs, solos, theory, scales, ect.. i want to see your goals accomplished too!! It will be my pleasure to continue teaching the magic of music. Everyone can do what they set there mind to, all you need is a helping hand. I understand exactly how important my patience is to new students and will progress along students as fast OR SLOW as i see fit using my knowledge

I work with the student to develop a curriculum based on their musical interests and my own teaching pedagogy. I strongly feel that for young musicians to own their education, they must have a say in what they play. Assigning method books and mindless etudes to practice doesn't have nearly the same effect asking them "Ok, what kind of music do YOU like? What do you want to PLAY? What do you want to LEARN?".

I believe that students learn best when they are invested in a subject, and the best way to get them invested is to individually get to know each one, speak to them on their level, and get them playing music they're interested in.

Guitar is my first and primary instrument. I love it so much because it is one of the most diverse instruments in the world. With that being said I try to be not only a diverse player but musician in general. This past year I performed in GFA's (Guitar Foundation of America) competition with my guitar quartet and as a soloist.

I teach:
TENOR BANJO - MANDOLIN - TENOR GUITAR - ACOUSTIC GUITAR
Please go to the instrument listing and it will explain about that particular Instrument.

Hello,

I play 2 types of guitars:

Acoustic Guitar with 5 strings, DADGAD - Drop D & Standard tuning
&
Irish Tenor Guitar GDAE
A tenor guitar is smaller then a regular guitar, it has 4 steel strings.
It was initially developed in its acoustic form from Gibson and C.F. Martin so that the four-string tenor banjo players could double on guitar.
The tenor guitar has a distinctive style of its own. It can be heard in Country, Western Swing, Jazz, Contemporary Folk and Pop music.

I accommodate all students differently depending on their level, style of music they would like to learn and the pace that is easiest for them. You will learn melody and chords those are both essentials. We will work from a book as well as print outs and I will send you weekly recordings, you can feel free to contact me anytime between ...

As a modern self-taught virtuoso, I follow a modern customer-oriented approach based on win-win and long term success. The guitar student is an aspiring music practicing master, and I make sure to guide the students to realize their own desires.

As long as he/she focuses on the image of the perfect player he/she wishes to become, I am committed to the full extent to motivate, encourage, help, assist, suggest improvements, correct mistakes, answer questions and everything that will speed up the student's ramp-up into becoming that perfect player.

Specialties:

The student will always come first, wether it is working on a song they want to learn and work on, creating out of lesson tasks for their free time as well as working on their strengths. I want to see the student succeed as much as they want to learn the material, and together we can make that happen.
