My teaching approach :

I've taught guitar lessons for fifteen years or so and have a deep and thorough knowledge of the instrument. I'm a great communicator with the skill and experience to help you become an accomplished player.

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following

My lessons are tailored to the individual student. No "one size fits all" approach here. Lessons combine grounding in important basics with a focus on the specific goals of the student.

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following

Try to determine his/ her current level of skill and general knowledge through discussion. Then it's very important to establish the student's goals and aspirations so together we can develop the direction of future lessons.

Interested and inquisitive; ready to learn and willing to put in the time it takes to really improve. Basically anyone who loves music as much as I do.
