My teaching approach :

I start by asking my students what their influences are and what they want to accomplish from the lessons. I continue by introducing them to the importance of tuning, and introduce chord shapes and scales. Students will require tuners, chord books, and the the appropriate lesson books. I currently work in the public school system, teaching music in elementary school, and place my classroom experiences into my students' learning.

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following

Each week I quiz my stidents on the previous week's material. In the second or third week, I introduce their first song. If the student is more advanced, I move them further up in the curiculum. I push my students to learn y reading music, not just by playing by ear or following tablature.

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following

I ask the beginning student about their background, such as whether they have played guitar, or any other instruments, before. I assess their specific needs by asking them to copy what I do, starting with simple chords and working up to more complicated fingerings.

The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following

One who considers all types of music, has patience and respect, and practices everyday as much as possible, without abandoning their other responsibilities.

Guitar lessons typically take place on these days and hours:

M-F: 4-7 PM, Saturday: 10 AM-3 PM

My influences are:

Joe Satriani, Jimi Hendrix, Dave Matthews, John Petrucci, Alex Lifeson, Billy Corgan, The Edge, Wyclef Jean, Segovia

Fee Schedule :

Students will pay $13 per half/hour lesson. Lessons will take place in the same spot weekly, for the first four weeks in the month. If there is a fifth time spot that month (for instance, a time slot on Monday, the last day of the month) that time slot will be left open for practice and make-ups. Payments will be made in cash on a weekly or biweekly basis.

My cancellation/booking policy :

Students must notify me at least 2 weeks in advance of any permanent time changes. For emergencies, students are allowed to make up their time slot at a later, mutually agreed upon time slot. Students who are no shows for their time slot are still required to pay.

Which methods of payment are accepted?

Cash
