Fallston, MD Guitar Lessons

I love to teach and have taught many hundreds of students over the past twenty years. Many of my students have gone on to professional careers in the music field. I am primarily trained in classical guitar and I also teach rock, folk, finger-style and jazz basics. I strive to help students deepen their love of music and to form a connection through that. Experience has shown me that all development as a musician arises from these factors. I look forward to meeting and having fun together!

I love teaching music! I have been a professional guitar instructor for over 8 years. Through attentive one on one instruction I develop a program to suit the player's goals. 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, chord progressions, rhythm training, and ear training. I can guide a complete beginner toward being able to play songs and have fun. For the more serious student I have a plan that will make you a better player and musician guaranteed.

I can cover any genres a student might want to learn as well as different techniques including classical, fingerpicking style, lead, etc.

I combine the styles of music that you prefer with some kind of method book for reading and theory. No purchasing of music is required. Normal lessons start with the previously assigned material, determining what we need to work on, new material, and ending with things to do at home.

Students can experience a lesson plan directly formulated towards their own personal interests. This could range from basic guitar fundamentals, which include learning basic chords, scales, reading music, playing different rhythmic patterns and playing beginner level songs. More advanced topics could also be implemented such as, modes, rhythmic syncopation, and harmonic chord progressions. Also, if the student wants to learn how to play their favorite songs this can also be arranged.

I like to let students learn at their own pace, and find out what learning style works for them best. Whether you've just picked up your guitar, or you're figuring it out and want to take the steps to learn more. Chords, scales, arpeggios, basic theory and picking styles will be touched on to ensure proper technique. But more importantly... learning songs and a path to creating your own! I encourage creativity, dedication to your craft, and having fun with it!

I enjoy working with my students to help them reach their performance goals. Everything from helping them learn their first few chords, to watching them form their own music groups and write original compositions is what teaching is all about.
