Private Guitar tutoring lessons Nicoma Park, OK.

I teach students of all ages and ability levels how to play their favorite songs. Any style, any era. I don't believe in forcing someone to play music they wouldn't listen to. Music lessons should be fun, relaxing, with the ultimate goal of playing the music that the student enjoys!

I am a professional guitarist with international touring experience, endorsements, and qualifications in theory and composition. I have been teaching private lessons to students aged 8 to 65 for several years. Tailoring the lessons to reach the your goals, we can explore areas such as learning your favorite songs, writing your own, while forming a solid basis of musical knowledge, and the tools you will need to grow into a capable and fluent musician.

From my experiences in independent bands, I can also offer consultations and advice on soliciting endorsements, creating press kits, writing press releases, and other ways to promote your album.

Hello!,

Our lessons will be relaxed and fun. I take pride in tailoring my curriculum to the needs and goals of each individual student- This helps me make sure that you are learning at a pace that feels comfortable for you, yet challenging.

We will work together to develop both your musicianship and creativity. I am a firm believer in music being a healing and mind-opening practice. One of my primary goals while teaching is to give my students an outlet to express themselves in a healthy and meaningful way. Let's get started!

Topics we can focus on together:
- Theory
- Strumming/finger-picking patterns
- How to sing and play at the same time
- Songwriting/Recording techniques
- Lyric Writing
- Stage Presence
- Exploring different musical genres

I take what I’ve learned from classrooms and stages across the United States and give you the fast track. Although I have a large library of songbooks and theory books, I also have perfect pitch, a skill that allows me to write down the notes as I listen to a song for the first time. This allows us to start playing your requests right away.

Learning a musical instrument should be fun and inspiring! In private guitar lessons and kids’ workshops I strive to cultivate a nurturing space where kids feel free to express themselves, make mistakes and grow.

I believe in the importance of paying close attention to the ways in which each child learns best. Using music books and popular songs that resonate with each child we build a lesson plan that keeps them excited about music while developing their musical skills and beginning to understand theory. I aim to strike a balance between playful and challenging that keeps kids engaged, encouraged and wanting to learn more.

Sight reading, finger exercises, scales, theory (varies on level of student), a song/excerpt that will match the students level, as well as allowing them to choose something to work on for future learning.
