Guitar Lessons in Eastgate. Amazing Teachers.

I've taught guitar to many friends and family who have wanted to learn. I'm by no means a certified guitar teacher but I have been playing for the last 5 years and I can teach the basics to intermediate level, but I would just like to teach beginner level for a while before I begin teaching intermediate just so I can get a hang of teaching and where students are at. I mostly play acoustic guitar and use my fingers to pick strings. I look forward to teaching! Thanks!

I customize my students curriculum based on their specific goals. I feel teaching students to play and transcribe songs and solos is my most important job. Most students come to me looking for structure so I try and provide a clear path for them to reach their goals. Although I love teaching music theory I understand that it is not for everyone, so I only offer theoretical principles when it is appropriate or asked for. I rarely use textbooks, but I do employ a lot of exercises and educational material when it applies to a lesson.  

For students with no prior music experience I use text books, and exercises to strengthen their technique, expose them to musical ideas, and give them a foundation of basic music theory.  After that is accomplished I move into a curriculum that is more personal to their specific goals.

Learn songs, how to solo, read notation, improvise, and Music theory.

Teaching beginners, intermediate, and also advanced players.
Acoustic and electric guitar, reading, chords, songs, and more!

Beginner students are welcome and shown how to enjoy music in a simple and fun way along with learning songs too.
* Chords and strumming patterns
* play your favorite songs
* learn melodies and solos
* the basics of your guitar (tuning and maintenance)
* keeping time, reading music,
* or just taking it slow and having a little fun...

Intermediate students can improve areas in which they wish and learn new areas or another instrument.
* chord voicings, triads, music theory
* soloing, double stops, scales, arpeggios
* improvising, ear training,
* fingerpicking, classical/acoustic/pop

Advanced students can really improve their music by learning more difficult aspects of music, technique and songs. They can also use the recording studio for their lesson to practice or record their own music.
* advanced soloing and improvising techniques
* ...

I create a personal lesson plan based on what your goals are. Some examples of goals are: you want to be a better guitar player and learn to read music, you want to become a touring musician, you want to learn to write your own songs or you want to accompany yourself while singing. No matter what your goals are I will create a lesson plan and practice schedule that will help you achieve them!
