Private Guitar tutoring lessons Dawsonville, GA.

Experienced guitar teacher of 12 years available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! My lessons are a custom fit for each individual. There is no ONE way that everyone learns, and that is why I take the time to create lesson plans that are tailored to each student. Obviously, there are basics that every students needs to know, but beyond that, your personal musical goals will be at the forefront of your lessons with me!

*** Studio Equipment ***
Room for music lessons, amplifiers, cables, and seating for parents.

*** Instructional Materials ***
I provide most instructional materials (worksheets, individualized lesson notes, etc.). I rarely use method books, but if a method book is desired, it will need to be provided by the student.

I expect my students to provide their own instrument.

Lessons offered for beginner to intermediate players. I have a guitar I can provide, but definitely recommend they have one to practice on.

Acoustic, Classical, Flamenco, Fingerpicking, Blues & Shred Techniques (sweeping, tapping, arpeggios, etc.), hybrid picking (chicken pickin').

First thing I do before first day of class is send out a welcoming greeting via email and call a few days before first lesson. We Briefly discuss and establishing the learning goals for the course based on the visual literacy,technical,and intellectual competencies the students should achieve by the end of a period is ideal for me to design the course or update an existing course for the student's desired outcomes. The syllabus and the schedule are completed along with a comprehensive strategy for what will take place during class. Music lessons include: warm ups, exercises, technical and theory work, solfeggio (sight-singing), ear training, repertoire musical coaching, composition writing, preparation for performances and more.

My guarantee to you is this. I will teach you want you need to know but we will use the songs or music that you like as the example of how the technical and theoretical aspects of music work.

I will show you how to play your favorite song at your first lesson!

The main focus of the private lessons is music theory and how it applies to the instrument. All the while trying to remain fun. Therefore, the musical style/genre that the student is seeking is irrelevant. At Dennis O Guitar Instruction the goal is for the student to have an understanding of the music that they seek to learn and become an independent musician.
