Jonathan Page Guitar Lessons

My teaching approach:

I create a custom lesson plan based on where you, the student, want to go with your guitar playing. The only way you'll actually practice is if you enjoy what you're doing! Don't sit through boring scales and "Mary Had a Little Lamb" when what you really want to be playing is in your reach. I enjoy helping my students reach their goals on the acoustic and electric guitars.

My influences are:

Gungor, John Mark McMillan, Muse, Gaslight Anthem, etc... too many to mention!

My guitar lessons take place in:

The teacher's studio

Guitar Lessons with me take place in the following areas:

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following:

In an introductory lesson, I'll ask you to play me what you can or give me a history lesson of who you are and how you came to be interested in the guitar. Depending on where you're at and where you want to be, I'll start creating the custom lesson plan right there. I assess playing ability on a very individual basis, and have to use a lot of criteria - rhythm, how you hear music, technique, quirks - it all goes into consideration.

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following:

A guitar lesson with me usually involves learning the guitar in a practical way - through the songs you choose. I'll teach a good mix of theory and songs to make you a well rounded student.

The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following:

One that practices, lets me be the teacher, and has fun playing the guitar! Part of music is that you should enjoy playing with other people, and so I want to enjoy that experience with my students.
