Guitar Lessons South

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

For beginning students, I begin with basic open chords and scales. Once the student has basic chords down I like to teach them a song of there choosing. I found this to be one of the most rewarding experiences when I began taking lessons. For adults, I like to hear any ideas they may have and give my input and direction. I work hard to keep lessons engaging for adults, I like to think every student can learn something new every lesson! Read More

The instrument I'm teaching will determine the methods of teaching I use, for example, if I'm teaching saxophone I use Hal Leonards essential elements to teach the fundamentals and after that depending on what style of music or type of player the student wants to be will determine what I teach them.

As a teacher, I always tell my students if they don't understand something, I'm not doing my job! This is why I always have multiple techniques and examples to teach a single concept.

Too much work often times will simply overwhelm the student, so I design a curriculum specifically for each student. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Voice

With all students I work on becoming aware of the Voice as the unique instrument that it is. I will teach them to listen, creating excercises to develop their creativity as they explore their own Voice as a unique instrument and tool. Half an hour is dedicated to developement and vocalization, then we work on repertoire that we would choose together, including improvisation excercises in which I play and sing a tune and they sing it back as it is or with added melismas or notes as they hear it.
