Guitar Lessons Hamilton County, IN

Instruments: Guitar, Classical Guitar

I have spent the past three years teaching group and individual lessons in pop and classical guitar as part of my graduate studies at Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music. This means I have taught college-aged students exclusively, up to this point. However, I am completely open to teaching students of all ages. Most of my students have been complete beginners who have little to no experience making music, so I am absolutely comfortable working with novices. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar

Not all my students in the past want to learn to read music however I really push for it, cause its the most helpful tool for being a working musician! I like to start my beginning students out with the Mel Bay book #1 through #7. However thats those books focus on some theory, mostly just and intro to reading notes on the staff. Some guys just want to get home from work and play thier guitar to let off some steam, I've worked with that type aswell. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Ukulele, Keyboard

For my beginning students on piano, I like to start out with knowing finger numbers, practicing scales and introducing simple songs to help get the feel of how to play the piano. I then move on to, not only giving the student an option to tell me what songs they would like to learn, but also to songs that increase the note range! For guitar ukulele, I like to start out by introducing hand position and how to properly hold the guitar. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Oboe

I began teaching back in my sophomore year of high school when one of my friends wanted to learn how to play the piano. I gave them half hour lessons once a week and tailored my teaching to fit what techniques they wanted to learn. After that, I began branching out and teaching other friends, and eventually found myself helping out the middle school bands during my study hall. Now that I am in college, my own playing has improved and I have found new ways to connect and teach students whether that be in person, or by using technology such as skype. Read More

Music is one of my many passions in life, and nothing pleases me more than sharing and teaching others about the wonderful skills that are developed when playing musical instruments. I'm the ultimate people person, taking the best interest in each individual student in order to progress their skills at an appropriate rate that is fun and exciting with each lesson! Music is challenging and can be frusterating at times, but leave it to me to help break down and simplify it so you can gain confidence in yourself and overall enjoy each lesson as we take steps towards your own goals.
