Guitar lessons overview
My teaching approach blends creativity with technical expertise to offer a unique learning experience for guitar enthusiasts of all levels. I specialize in ear training, performance coaching, theory integration, and expressive musicality. With a focus on Guitar, Electric Guitar, and Classical Guitar, I use various tech tools such as Amp Simulators, Backing Track Libraries, and Ear Training Software to enhance the learning process. I tailor lessons to align with students' musical interests, whether rock, blues, folk, jazz, or classical. By incorporating tools like Chord Diagram Apps and Looping Pedals, I ensure a hands-on and engaging learning environment both online and offline. Following a diverse curriculum including A-Levels, AP Program, and IB, I cater to a wide audience of 200+ students, ranging from kids to adults and beginners to advanced players. My methodology emphasizes personalized teaching, building a strong foundation in technique, fretboard navigation, and strumming patterns. Students benefit from practical applications, real-time feedback, and a versatile approach that fosters a deep understanding of music theory and performance skills.

I started voice lessons with Oberon in becker just hoping to improve my singing. What I got was so much more posture tips, breathing work, and real insight into how to handle stage nerves.

I never thought vocal growth could happen so naturally. But under Oberon calm and steady guidance in west highlands, everything started to click.

I was looking for a guitar tutor and found Oberon in Plaza midwood. his lessons are clear and detailed, and I feel like a more natural player now.

Beginner lessons with Oberon in Spectrum are very thoughtfully planned. he provides me with meaningful feedbacks too. I started from scratch and now I’m playing full songs. in no time Each week we build on the last one, with warmups, chord drills, and simple tunes that keep me going.

teaches both of my twin sons guitar, and believe me, they both have different tastes in music and Oberon manages to teach both of them together. This is because of his knowledge and skills.

It was the time when my daughter was feeling so underconfident and was dealing with stage fright, that time I decided to make his learn an instrument. Oberon Campus not only made his learn guitar but also helped him to boost his confidence.
