Jason Kramer's String Theory
39 Reviews
I graduated from Illinois State University with a BFA in music. I don't use a cookie-cutter approach, rather I strive to tailor the material to meet each student's individual needs. I want my students to have a firm understanding of the actual grammar and interworkings of music as a language, the guitar as the voice. I have been teaching students of all ages and musical backgrounds for over ten years. I am currently playing in 3 bands and have also performed as a soloist.

Ian's Music Lessons
10 Reviews
I've taught hundreds of students over the last couple decades (and then some) and I've learned how to work with so many types of people. Some people like to move quick, some people slow. Some people are more visual, some learn better by listening. So my service stands out by my ability to hone my lessons towards each individual. I treat each student as an individual that I truly care about and want to see succeed.
Beyond that, below is also a list of just some of the things I can teach you wheter it be bass, guitar or ukulele:
Genres: blues, rock, country, classical, metal, pop, punk, indie, funk, r&b
Techniques: strumming, lead (includi

McCartney Guitar

To me, I give a personal 'relatable way,' "Positive enviroment" for my sudents to learn, rehearse and perform music on guitar. With students that have a desire to learn technique, practice and a "stick to it" attitude. You will do very well in my approach to teaching. I care about each of you and my "happy place" is when I get to watch you grow musically :-) I CARE ABOUT YOUR SUCCESS.

Not only am I a teacher, but I am also a professional songwriter and performer. This means I can give real-world advice to performers who want to get out there and share their voice with the world.
I am also trained in nervous system health for performers so I can help students with stage fright, trauma, and anxiety in a skillful way.
Finally, I am a trained theatrical actress, so I also encourage my students to stay connected to their material to great not only good sounding songs but compelling performances.
I am LBGTQ friendly and accept all students as they are!

Michael Gray ~ The Best Guitar Lessons
Do you want to become the best guitar player that you can be? If yes, then you need to work with the best guitar teacher you can find. When shopping for a guitar teacher, be aware of the huge difference between an amazing performance guitarist vs a trained guitar teacher with expert communication skills. The lessons market is flooded with amazingly talented guitarists that are highly entertaining to watch perform, but fall way short when trying to impart (or even explain) that knowledge to you, the student.Let me give you a short list of common problems I hear new guitar students are having:*I bought a guitar and a book but still have no idea

Abraham Peters Guitar Lessons
My teaching approach:
I teach beginning and intermediate guitar and beginning piano. Why take music lessons from me? I believe no two people learn the same way, then may be similar, but not the same (kinda like snowflakes) I create lessons that are optimized to promote your learning growth. How do I do this? Feedback. Your feedback is vital for me to customize your learning process. I will be patient and gentle with you, but at the same time I will push you out of your comfort zone into a rewarding atmosphere.
My influences are:
Andy Mckee, Don Ross, John Mayer and Jack Johnson
