Being able to play the acoustic guitar is so much fun. My students learn basic note reading, strumming, technique and songwriting. Students can expect to complete Hal Leonard's Guitar Book One, and Hal Leonard's Easy Pop Melodies, along with plenty of supplemental songs.

I am a self-taught musician with 15 years of experience playing electric and acoustic guitar.

By learning a variety of music, you'll quickly begin to notice patterns & understand basic theory on what notes work together well. From there, you can apply that knowledge to improvisation, as well as songs you may want to write!
