Guitar Lessons Northeast

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Flute, Music, Keyboard, Acoustic Guitar

Throughout my years of personal training, I have accumulated a collection of useful song books, workbooks, flute and piano repertoire, theory books, etc. I have resources for all levels of playing and learning (appropriate for students of all ages!) I like to begin my lessons with a brief discussion with my students regarding how they envision their training to be, goals they may have in mind, and what they ultimately want to get out of lessons.

When it comes to the art of music, it just brightens my day. With over 20 years of learning, performing and teaching has elevated my skillset. My passion towards music allows me to create, engineer and produce music. My music talent has allowed me to perform in front of large crowds or in a small setting. I am a motivated instructor who enjoys working with students and sharing my love of music. Read More

For me, the most vital aspect of teaching involves creating a self-motivated student. I believe that you can do this by teaching music that is of interest to the person you're teaching, and by introducing material that is graded in such a way that it is always a little bit more challenging than what your student is used to (no matter the level they happen to play at). If a student has no reason to practice by themselves, and if a sense of curiosity and desire for exploration and accomplishment haven't been developed, the teaching itself becomes obsolete.

I like to start with the basics, centering in on songs that I learned as a kid. From there I quickly introduce kids to chords on guitar, and we work on rhythm and how that relates to everything. I think rhythm is the most important part of music and I definitely drive that point home, usually by relating it to pop music and things the student already enjoys. I'm not trying to train a musical warrior, as much as I am trying to create a musical explorer. Read More

In my years of teaching experience in music, English as a second language, and biology, I have found that different students learn differently. Some do best learning by demonstration, others by reading sheet music, others through discussion and application. In general, I have found that when students are given individual focus and a lesson plan built upon their strengths, they excel! I make sure that, whether in individual or clinic style settings, I give attention to each student, work with them, and help them achieve their goals! Read More
