Guitar Instructor
Jul, 2008 - Jan, 2019Self-Employed
Since high school I've been teaching the guitar. At first only to friends (mostly for fun), and then to help make ends meet through college. It's not always been a smooth road, and I won't pretend that the lessons I started offering in the summer between my Freshman and Sophomore years of high school were pedagogically sound, but these 10 years of teaching really honed me as a guitar instructor. I've had a lot of experience identifying the kinds of hurdles that different students face when learning the guitar, and I've learned through doing to develop different strategies to overcome them.
