Kimberly Ann - Know your guitar teacher
I'm Kimberly Ann, a singer-songwriter, performer, multi-instrumentalist, music instructor, and academic tutor. I support my students in a variety of disciplines, including and primarily guitar, piano, voice, and music theory. I also tutor math through 12th grade, Spanish language for English speakers at any age, and social sciences through senior year at the university level. All of these topics have neatly folded themselves into my life, helping me to appreciate their harmonious interconnectedness. My style of teaching is entirely taylored to the student before me. It is always a pleasure to meet my students where they are, to get to know them, and to help them succeed in a way that suits their unique needs. For my music students, I offer 1) personalized guitar lessons, to include all guitar types (acoustic, electric, classical, and bass), 2) custom piano lessons, and 3) engaging voice lessons, all by approaching it with the student's musical inspiration such as their favorite song or artist. For my more artistically conservative clients, I have reams of classical and jazz music that I am happy to offer as well. I work comprehensively with my music students on their posture and technique, understanding their scales and chord progressions, ear training for pitch sensitivity, and bringing it all together to create beautiful melodies and compositions. For my academic students, we practice what they are working on in class (or work) in a way that simplifies the learning process. When it all become overwhelming, it's always nice to have a calm, quiet virtual learning space to break down concepts that are sometimes presented to in an overly complicated fashion. It is my pleasure to make life easier for all learners. I would love the opportunity to do so for you.

Guitar concepts taught by Kimberly Ann
The Student and Tutor worked on guitar tuning and began learning the chords for "Man of the Year" by Lorde, focusing on G, B (bar chord), and C major. They explored the theory and application of bar chords by relating them to open chord shapes and practiced various A-family chord variations. The Student was assigned to practice known open chords daily to build finger strength and calluses.

G Major Chord Mastery & Dynamics
Introduction to Bar Chords: Concept & Application
Exploring Open Chord Variations
The Power of Consistent Practice: Calluses & Hand Strength
Student and Tutor focused on guitar fundamentals, including tuning and chord practice. They extensively worked on major scale patterns, applying the B and D major scales, and practiced the legato technique to connect notes smoothly. The session also covered the musical alphabet and note identification on the A string, with the Student assigned to practice legato and scale patterns, and find a suitable acoustic song for future lessons.

Understanding Song Keys & Tuning Adjustments
Student and Tutor reviewed guitar practice techniques, focusing on proper finger placement and left-hand pressure for scales. They learned the one-octave scale starting on the A string, practiced legato articulation, and explored the musical alphabet on the fretboard. The session also covered the theoretical construction of major scales using whole and half steps, along with an introduction to reading sheet music. The Tutor will send diagrams for further study and practice.

Student and Tutor worked on learning the song "Man of the Year" by Lorde on the guitar. They practiced the song's bassline, explored different chord voicings, and focused on the challenging B major bar chord. The Tutor provided technical guidance on hand positioning and finger technique, and also assisted the Student with guitar tuning. The Student will receive a chord sheet to practice the newly learned chords and bassline transitions.
