Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I AM CURRENTLY ONLY TEACHING GUITAR LESSONS ONLINE
My students improve quickly because of the effective foundation I provide in my lessons. I teach musicianship along with technique. Each student is unique and I provide them with practical insight they wouldn't gain from instructional videos, or most teachers. I teach from my guitar, not a "method"/ book. I've applied many hours to my technique so I know what works and how to make lasting progress happen. A motivated student will improve quickly when provided with the most expedient way to get better with practice. My new students have an idea of their goals and I listen to what they are looking to accomplish and together we create an effective practice routine that will get them to that level. A student that has the drive to play is something I can relate to because that was me when I got serious about the guitar as a teenager. And it's no different now, I enjoy watching my students improve!
