Guitar Lessons California

Instruments: Guitar, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar

I enjoy basing my lessons with students off of method books. I find that method books help students to practice during the week and they also help me assign specific exercises. I currently use three different method books depending on the age and personality of the student. I also love to assign 2-3 pieces/songs that are manageable according to the student's level so they develop musicianship skills from their first few lessons. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Music, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

My teaching style is very patient. I encourage my students to be patient with themselves as learning music is a life long journey. I encourage students to practice for at least 5 minutes everyday. I believe this allows them the chance to at least get their hands on their instrument. Often times once we get our hands on our instrument we end up staying their longer than we intended. I believe it is important to leave our instrument feeling good. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonards Essential Elements book, as well a basic understanding of music. Once the student has progressed to have a nice grasp of the fundamentals of music, I usually begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. I also believe in the importance of listening to as many professional recordings as possible of the instrument the student is taking lessons on. Read More
