Private Guitar tutoring lessons Stephens City, VA.

The guitar is a popular musical instrument classified as a string instrument with anywhere from 4 to 18 strings, usually having 6. The sound is projected either acoustically or through electrical amplification (for an acoustic guitar or an electric guitar, respectively). It is typically played by strumming or plucking the strings with the right hand while fretting (or pressing against the fret) the strings with the left hand. The guitar is a type of chordophone, traditionally constructed from wood and strung with either gut, nylon or steel strings and distinguished from other chordophones by its construction and tuning. The modern guitar was preceded by the gittern, the vihuela, the four-course Renaissance guitar, and the five-course baroque guitar, all of which contributed to the development of the modern six-string instrument.

There are three main types of modern acoustic guitar: the classical guitar (nylon-string guitar), the steel-string acoustic guitar, and the archtop guitar.

I teach the Art of classical guitar to people of all ages and abilities.

Each lesson is tailored to fit each individual student. We will cover genres of music that is of interest to you, using music you enjoy most so learning the guitar will be fun. Even if you have experience playing guitar, I will be able to show you alternative strum patterns, picking patterns, useful techniques, tricks and short-cuts to make playing easier. This applies to whether you are learning acoustic, classical or electric guitar. I have a blast teaching and my students have fun learning!

Learn to play guitar at any level. Whether you are a beginner or have been playing for years, Sammy can teach you tricks and tips to improve your playing in just an hour.

I have been playing the guitar for 11 years. As a recent graduate from Southeastern Louisiana University, I have been teaching guitar and ukulele lessons as well as classes since the spring of this year (2017). I hold a bachelor's degree in music performance with my primary instrument being the guitar.
I can help you to acquire a solid foundation of music theory knowledge. You can help to better understand music theory concepts if they are paired with guitar techniques to supplement them.
If you are a complete beginner, do not be afraid! I will help you to learn at a pace which is comfortable but still effective for you. These lessons will be focused and designed to fit YOUR needs. Let's learn together :)

We have more than 10 years of experience teaching guitar and piano to adults and children 3 and up. We personalize each lesson to motivate you and help you reach your musical goals!

I am truly passionate about your success in becoming the best guitar player you choose to be! I like to teach with repetition (wax on wax off) and prefer to present the big picture first so that every obstacle may potentially never be an obstacle for you. I take years of teaching experience and what have been topics of frustration brought to me from students in the past... I try to smooth the road and teach you so you get the highest yield of success for your money with as little headaches as possible :) for example: I begin with bar chords not folk chords. I would LOVE to have the opportunity to explain "WHY" and show you how great you can be in WAY less time than a traditionalist guitar teacher would get you...

I've been playing guitar for over 15 years and have been teaching for 3. I'm patient and capable of breaking down concepts in a way that is both fun and easy to understand. You will feel more confident and notice improvement after your first lesson.

Active guitarist with over 10 years of playing experience and over 2 years of teaching experience! My number one priority as a guitar teacher is finding a perfect curriculum for each individual student I teach. Often times many teachers will try to teach the same materials to their students, but I strongly feel each student needs their own curriculum to learn from. We will go through fundamentals (technique exercises, music theory, ear training), methods of practicing (so that you can develop a healthy, independent practice routine), songs that you want to learn (and will benefit your playing & have fun!), and so much more!
I cover wide range of musical genres from Pop, RnB, Rock, Fingerstyle, Funk, Classical to Jazz. My main focus professionally has been Jazz, Pop, and RnB - playing with Grammy-nominated bands and different groups around the world! I would love to meet and teach all of you!

Whatever you want to learn, I'm here to teach!

I value the potential you have to realize your capabilities through music, and I believe a major part of accomplishing this is through inspiration. With your inspiration in mind, I generate my own curriculum for private lessons that's accommodated to your musical taste. I am committed to catering to a your musical interests and relating them to the lesson so you're motivated to learn and more likely to progress.

I value being not only a musical mentor, but also a role model who listens and cares about what a student might be experiencing. Sharing the healing potential of music is important to me.

I hope you will allow me an opportunity to employ my skills and commitment to helping you learn the guitar!
