Guitar Lessons Macomb County, MI

Instruments: Guitar

I started teaching 5 years ago, helping a college student expand his skills in music. Since then I've taught a number of others in all age groups. I've found that the best way to teach is to not teach; I feel that the experience is more fun and beneficial for the student if I help guide them through their own journey in music. Rather than set a strict curriculum that I the student must rigidly follow I have a number of resources that I draw from to make a flexible program to keep it interesting and enjoyable, as well as sharpening important concepts.

I have taught guitar and voice lessons periodically for the past 15 years. I've never had more than 3 students at a time and it was more of a side gig for friends, family, and attenders of the churches I worked at. Many of my students learn how to play quickly and proficiently. I have even had a few students go on to play music professionally. I'm excited to focus more of my time on helping others develop their passions for music. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

For beginning students who are completely new to the world of music, I typically start them with exercises and theory found in Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. This introduces them to the foundations of the guitar, such as basic chords, chord progressions, and the musical alphabet. Once they have the necessary understanding of the fundamentals, I then like to find out what music the student is interested in learning and apply these foundations in musical pieces they are familiar with.
