About your guitar teacher
I'm Melissa Fankhauser, an experienced music tutor with over 11 years of expertise in guitar lessons. My teaching style is all about personalized learning, ensuring each student enjoys a tailored approach that suits their unique learning style. Specializing in Guitar, Classical Guitar, and Bass Guitar, I dive deep into chord progressions, ear training, fingerstyle techniques, music theory, and more. Whether you're a school student, a college-goer, an adult looking to pick up a new hobby, or a professional musician honing your skills, I cater to all levels and ages. My educational background includes a degree where I honed my composition and performance skills. I've delved into choral, praise, classical, and jazz music, enriching my teaching repertoire. I've even penned a guitar method book specifically crafted for beginner to intermediate guitar enthusiasts. This book offers original music, ear training exercises, melodic training through tablature, and guidance on transposition and improvisation for songwriting. Let's strum our way to success together with engaging lessons that will have you mastering chords, scales, and picking techniques in no time!

Guitar lessons overview
As a Guitar, Classical Guitar, and Bass Guitar tutor, I provide personalized lessons for students of all levels, including school, college, and adult/professional learners. My teaching style focuses on ear training, sight reading, technique enhancement, and performance coaching. I am empathetic, patient, and motivational, creating a supportive learning environment. I incorporate tech tools like Amp Simulators, DAWs, and Ear Training Software to make lessons engaging and interactive. By using Chord Diagram Apps and Metronome Apps, I ensure students develop a strong foundation in music theory and rhythm. Additionally, I leverage PDF Sheet Music and Backing Track Libraries for comprehensive learning experiences. I follow diverse curricula such as A-Levels, AP Program, IB, and more to cater to the specific educational needs of each student. My approach emphasizes practical application through performance evaluations and theory quizzes, fostering creativity by encouraging students to compose and perform their music. Through this methodology, I aim to help students not only master their instruments but also develop a deep passion for music.
