Zach - Know your guitar teacher
Hello, my name is Zach Khoury. I have vast knowledge of music (guitar, piano, bass, and singing) and a few years under my belt working as a teacher. I worked as a diverse learning teacher for 3 years, and have been teaching music for about a year now privately. Working with diverse learning students taught me so much about what it means to teach someone. It helped me understand that not everyone learns the same, or percieves the world the same. So its important to keep an open mind and be willing to adjust your approach accordingly to each indiviudal student. As far as music goes I have been gigging professionally for 5 years, and have an eclectic style of playing. I specialize in a wide array of subjects including fingerstyle, blues, chords, music theory, picking styles, technique training and I am comfortable teaching all levels of students. Guitar is the insturment I am the highest level at, but my first instrument was piano which I am able to teach as well. Along bass guitar and singing I offer my students a unique way learning, and insight on what it takes to play live shows and be a giging musican. Lasltey, I love bringing a positive attitude to my lessons with me. I love music and feel a responsibiiltiy as a musican to share my knowledge and help others learn about this wonderful craft.

Guitar concepts taught by Zach
The tutor and student worked on essential guitar chords, including C, G, D, A minor, and A major, and introduced D minor.
