Teaching Methodology My teaching approach is designed to make learning guitar clear, engaging, and achievable for every student. I believe that anyone can play well when the fundamentals are broken down into simple, digestible steps. I focus on the triangle of musicianship – melody, rhythm, and harmony – using this as a framework to develop a strong foundation. Each lesson connects these elements so students understand not just what to play, but why it works. This helps them move from copying songs to truly understanding music and creating their own sound. Here’s how I make learning understandable: • Step-by-step progression – I simplify complex techniques into manageable chunks, so you see progress every week. • Real-world application – We work on songs and styles you love, linking theory directly to playing. • Visual and auditory learning – I use diagrams, recordings, and demonstrations to cater to different learning styles. • Studio integration – For those interested, I introduce recording techniques, tone shaping, and performance tips from my own studio work. • Personalized feedback – Every student gets tailored advice to overcome challenges and build on strengths. By combining structured learning with creativity, I ensure lessons stay motivating and results-focused. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, my goal is to make the guitar something you truly connect with and enjoy.

My teaching approach focuses on personalized tutoring to meet your unique learning goals. We can focus on vocabulary development, verb conjugation, listening comprehension, speaking practice, homework help or any combination of the above. I offer classes in Spanish listening, reading, writing, speaking, grammar, vocabulary and conversation. The tools we use will depend on your learning needs and preferences, but in general I like to offer many speaking opportunities, visual supports, games, role plays and interactive lessons. Generally, lessons will build upon one another and routinely cycle back to previous knowledge to reinforce the learning. My methodology strengths lie in adapting to individual learning styles, fostering confidence in communication skills and providing a supportive environment for language acquisition and practice to progress on the road to proficiency.
