Guitar Lessons in Bastrop, TX

Instruments: Guitar

My interest in guitar started in 2000 when I was in the fourth grade. I can still remember that day in music class when the teacher was showing us different kinds of instruments. Holding the guitar somehow felt right and interesting to me. I started taking guitar lessons, but within a couple of years of that, I was starting to find that I didnt really need the lessons to learn how to play songs because I was picking them up on my own.

I care about my students progress and their well being. Music is my life but it can also be very frustrating and difficult. I never want to make a student feel stressed out or feel bad about themselves during one of my lessons.

I am incredibly fulfilled by witnessing growth in my students, and love the "Ah-HA!" moments. My approach is based on the student's learning patterns and interests, and tailor my lessons to each individual student.

My job is not to make virtuosos, but to give my students the right practice and motivational tools so they can accomplish their goals while also having fun. Read More

Whether you're a beginner looking to learn the basics of reading music or an experienced musician looking to take your playing to the next level, I'm eager to share my experience and knowledge in helping you reach your goals on your musical journey.

My teaching experience dates back to the spring of 2004, shortly after graduating from college. Early on in my career as an instructor, I found the best overall approach to teaching was to encourage consistent practice, coupled with a strong emphasis on good technique and developing good habits. Maintaining a consistent lesson schedule as well as continuity between lessons is critical. My experience with teaching has also taught me that as an instructor, you can't always be a disciplinarian.
