Elizabeth - Know your guitar teacher
I am a fully qualified Classical Guitar teacher with over thirty-two years of teaching experience. I provide personalized guitar lessons which include theory and practical training. I have taught all ages and levels, with most of my students starting from the age of nine. I will teach you how to read music and I will share the love of the Classical Guitar with you. I teach basic chord progressions, strumming techniques, scales and simple pieces suited to accompanying singing . All of my students have participated in Trinity or Associated Board of the Royal Schools Examinations with a 100% pass rate. I enjoy teaching individuals and groups and believe in the importance of developing a well rounded musician. I love playing duets with my students and believe that teaching and learning music should be enjoyable and fun for both teacher and student.

Elizabeth worked with Katy on piano, focusing on scales, Hannon exercises, and two pieces: one arranged by Patrick and another more challenging piece. They addressed fingering techniques, melody expression, and separate practice for difficult sections. Katy was assigned to practice the Hannon study with a metronome, continue scale practice, and work on the identified challenging sections in both pieces, with a follow-up lesson scheduled in two weeks.

During a recent music lesson, Elizabeth collaborated with Emery on refining finger placement and wrist posture, as well as practicing 'Mary Had a Little Lamb.' Afterward, Elizabeth guided Aria through playing scales, note identification, and rhythm exercises.
