Guitar Lessons Robertson County, TN

Instruments: Guitar, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I've been playing guitar since the age of 12, and I find immense joy in teaching others how to play the guitar. I recently graduated from the University of Tennessee School of Music with a focus in jazz guitar performance. I believe that it is incredibly important to help others on their musical journey in order for them to find their own sound. In order to do this, I wish to help students simplify complex musical concepts that will help prepare them for various musical situations as a guitar player in a big band, trio, or when supporting a vocalist.

Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Bass Guitar

I have been teaching students off and on since 2007. Regular practice has always been encouraged to my students, but I encourage even more to find the love in learning and playing music. Regardless of age or skill level, my students are all equal to me. As a beginner, learning a new intstrument can be tedious, but that is the pathway of finding the love in the instrument. No matter if my students want to be versatile like myself, use the intrument to accompany themselves, or pursue music as a living or hobby, I will encourage them to share what they have learned to their families and to the public.

I have been teaching over the last 4.5 years, either in my home, traveling, or online, and as well as for a jazz academy.

I love to see my students succeed and want them to desire to continue play music. I also want to see them having fun during their lessons and be able to motivate them to have fun even while practicing at home. Read More

For beginning students or children, I will start teaching the importance of note value on printed music. Whether it's drums, piano, guitar, or any orchestral instrument, they all share a common thread in melody and rhythm. Once the student has a firm grasp on note value and melody, they will begin to learn simple songs that gradually increase in difficulty. By the time they reach an intermediate level of knowledge, they will bring their own favorite songs to learn. Read More

For adults, I use a heavy emphasis on training the ear and understanding music in "the bigger picture". It's critical to not just see a bunch of notes or chords, but to be able to analyze why those notes/chords fall where they do and what relation they have to each other, and to the song as a whole. The next step is to use that knowledge and apply it to improvisation and composition. Read More
