Private Guitar tutoring lessons Louisville, KY.

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 :)

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

I am eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation. I specialize in rock, pop, fusion, and progressive metal. I have several years of experience performing in various Christian worship bands and a bluegrass/folk duo.

Lauren has played the guitar since age 11 and offers lessons tailored to the needs and desires of each student. Lauren favors the Hal Leonard and Alfred guitar method books for teaching children, and she approaches each lesson with patience, care, and an eye for detail.

Chords and reading lines as well as technique and strumming patterns.

While taking piano lessons, my students will grow in areas including technique, music theory knowledge, and repertoire.

I believe that learning music should be as fun and inspiring as it can be to play. We all have a vast wellspring of creative energy within us, and the goal of the relationship between the student and the teacher is to help nurture and develop that latent talent. For this reason, my approach to teaching music is highly individualized. I start out with the premise that the student has unique gifts and my job is to help them discover what those are, and develop and refine them in order to make beautiful and deeply satisfying music, through whatever instrument and in whatever style they are drawn towards.

Depending on one's starting level of experience, some basic exercises will be assigned to develop core skills, with increasing levels of technical challenge and complexity. Elements of music theory will be woven into practical lessons. Students will have the choice to incorporate material from popular and familiar music into their studies, and as they progress they will be encouraged to

As a lover of music, I have strived to learn the most that I can. As an experienced teacher, I strive to provide the best tutoring possible. The learning environment is friendly, encouraging, supportive and paced to the student's abilities.

My approach as a music teacher is to first teach the student to relax and have fun with their instrument. I use backing tracks to help the student feel a beat or groove to a song. This is very important. Theory, technic and ear training are important but useless if the student doesn't first feel and enjoy music. We all sing along and dance to our favorite songs but in many cases, the joy goes away when we begin to actually study music. I don't want to take the joy away. First we have fun. Playing is learning.

Guitar should be fun for everyone who picks it up. That's the most important thing to know. It's also important to understand what you are capable of, and maximizing your ability within that skill level before attempting to move on to the next. We naturally feel better when we do something right than we do when we try something beyond our level, but fail to make it sound good! I've been playing this instrument since I was 12, and I still light up with excitement when I discover something new or figure out a difficult pattern for the first time.
We can cover a unique and wide variety of styles, from Celtic fingerstyle to Progressive Metal, Christian rock, and everything in between. I can tell you now that the first thing I will try to do is get you to relax with the instrument and enjoy our time together, exploring the wide array of sounds and music this beautiful instrument can create!
