My teaching style is success-driven and is largely about giving creative opportunities. Celebrating my students' first time playing a song or learning their first chord is always exciting, as I understand the sometimes intimidating learning curve that music presents. I set weekly, realistic goals for my students and always make sure they have something to listen to. For my piano students, I always make sure that they have pianists to listen to all week so that they can be inspired and have an understanding of the history of the instrument. Read More

My teaching experience began over 20 years ago when I started teaching out of a store called Sound Post and since then I have given individual lessons to students from 8 to 80. I am currently teaching group guitar lessons through some of the schools and park districts in the northern suburbs of Chicago. Read More

Depending on the age group of the student, my methods vary. With children, I will usually start by trying to gauge their musical interest and develop a strategy from there. Usually, this involves learning basic chord forms and progressions, until they are ready to start learning a bit of theory, and therefore how to solo. For adults, I simply ask them about their musical interests and tastes, and ask them what their ultimate goal is, and then set shorter goals to help achieve the ultimate goal. Read More

I started teaching guitar at about 16, and have always maintained a studio of at least a couple students. I also offered assistance in the local band classes in order to improve my chops on my alternate instruments. I've played with several local bands, played musicals for local and regional theater groups, and was the house band leader for the Williamsburg Dinner Theater for 4 years. By my best estimation, I have played well over 1000 shows (probably closer to 1200), and that number continues to grow as I develop my band, the Darrell Boger Band. Read More
