Guitar Lessons Walker County, TX

Instruments: Guitar, Voice

I have designed curriculums that work in phases according to the skill level of the student. In the beginning stages the curriculum is designed primarily based around the music theory required for playing the instrument at a high level.

I would highly recommend this application or something comparable to students trying to learn songs and I can teach how to use it. Read More

I help direct their focus and plan a written practice log in their own notebook. Writing down goals and achievements weekly helps motivate students and keeps them practicing. Read More
