Find Tutors in Capitol Heights

areas of their lives as a result. I aim to inspire every student to find their way to a rewarding life through music.

*** Lesson Details ***
My lesson plans are developed on an individual basis. I want you to learn the music that inspires your passion. If the guitar is new to you, the first lessons are devoted to basic playing skills and techniques. It is important to develop a strong understanding of music fundamentals to ensure that the student is attaining the skills they need to be a complete musician. I emphasize technique with drills designed to raise my students' skills evenly across a wide range of categories, like picking, fretting, scale patterns, chord shapes, rhythm training, and ear training. I have had success with many students using this approach and most are playing songs within a couple months. For the more serious student, music theory is an important tool to understand songwriting and music in general. I am always open to discuss what we do during a lesson. I believe it is my job to balance what you want to do with what you need to do in order to succeed.

*** Travel Equipment ***
I have amps, guitars, 1/4 inch cables, tuners, metronomes, paper and pens.
Would like students to have all these things but can accommodate based on need.

*** Specialties ***
Rock, Pop, Blues, Country, flat-picking, finger-style

rite and edit college essays that played an important roll in their admissions process.

As a college student I have taken multiple English courses as well as humanities classes in which I worked to perfect my writing skills. I believe that the best teachers are those that continue to learn regardless of their expertise because all of us can improve on the skills we already have.

My personal passion is narrative writing. I love relaying my own stories or the stories of others. This kind of writing allows me to express my emotions and to also feel the emotions and better understand the experiences of others by trying to look at the world through their eyes. I look forward too meeting you and being able to help you foster, grow, and share the love of writing!
