A guitar lesson with me might entail the following

I ask the student to tell me why they've come to me, then I ask them to play a bit so I can see and hear where they are. Once we've determined that it's a simple matter to map out some exercises that will enable the student to get closer to their desired goals. I write down all of the suggested homework and review everything before the student leaves. Telephone and email support available.
