I am very patient with my students. I stay positive and encourage their improvements. I review material that they are having trouble with and encourage them to keep trying.

For my beginning guitar students, we begin with basic chords and simple melodies to develop motor function, finger strength/dexterity, and calluses on the fingertips.
