Guitar lessons quick guide
Making music comprehensible for all ages is my specialty. I first start with a perception of my student; for example, what does the student see or hear when looking at or playing music? Are there any ways the student can express his or herself? Is the music making the student feel overwhelmed or undermined? These types of questions are thought of first so I can have a better understanding of the student and I can make a progress plan based on that students comprehension. Every individual is different and learns in their own way. As an educator, I strive to find a path to success for the students perception of music reading, writing, technique and performance. Using songs and exercises provided by many levels of books and repertoire, students will also have the opportunity to use preferred music to ease into music lessons at a scholar level.
