    About Megan C.

    4.7
    (10)
    My name is Megan, and I love teaching guitar lessons! I originally got my bachelor's degree from the University of Utah in Elementary Education. I taught 6th grade for a couple of years, and then went on to teach guitar classes at a private school for another couple of years. At this school, I directed the classical guitar ensemble, and had children from 5-14 playing challenging music together. I started slowly taking on private students in my spare time, and my business has grown, so that now it's all I do! I was a music major before I switched over to Elementary Ed. I have experience in playing in groups, solo, composition, as well as the fundamentals of different styles of playing. I specialize in teaching children, but of course love to teach adults as well. I can teach folk, blues, classical, and the music theory behind soloing in any style. My passion for music, and knowledge of how we all learn make me very capable of guiding you toward your own musical goals.

    Phenomenal!!! I've brought my son to multiple different teachers and all were so harsh and demanding. Megan on the other hand expects hard work and practice at home, but she does so in such a kind, helpful, and motivational way. My son always leaves his lessons glowing with excitement and motivated to practice. I plan to stick with Megan for the next few years at least. I sure hope she never moves, or I might have to start online lessons. Thank you Megan! You're the best. Jacob can't wait until his next lesson. He's having so much fun learning these songs.

    Experience

    Private Guitar Teacher

    Mar, 2010 - Present

    Megan KC Guitar Studio

    I have been teaching private and group guitar lessons in the Salt Lake Area, as well as The Tri Cities Washington for the past 11 years. My students have varied in age, from 7 to much older adults. I have mentored students in their study of popular music, classical, folk acoustic, and the theory fundamentals behind all types of guitar soloing. I custom each lesson to my student's goals and musical tastes. I make it fun, and keep you motivated! I hold recitals and master classes several times a year! My specialty is is fingerstyle guitar as well as accompaniment. I have a vocal performance background, so I'm a great mentor to students interested in the singer songwriter style who want to compose and perform their own music. I can be both a vocal coach, and guitar teacher. I taught Elementary School for 4 years, including a couple years at Reid School where I was the Classical Guitar Ensemble Director for grades K-8. I understand music in and out, but almost more importantly, I understand how we learn, what motivates us, and how to be a guide through the many many hours it takes to learn an instrument. My classroom management skills make me a great group instructor, and I have always enjoyed a positive repour with my students, and enjoy being a mentor as well as an instructor.
