    Frequently asked questions

    Access where the student is at. Ask them their goals and create a plan to help the student reach them. I try to help students learn the fundamentals well enough to be able to play and understand music of any style

    I have a Master's degree in Music Performance (guitar) from Indiana University Jacobs School of Music

    I usually charge 60$ for an hour or 30$ for a half hour

    I started teaching when I was 18 through a local music business. I taught there for 5 years and at Indiana for 5 years

    All kinds: classical, jazz, rock, etc. Many different students at many different levels

    I went to a concert where my friends were performing

    Steady, consistent practice over a period of time will lead to results

    How much time am I willing to practice, what kind of goals do I have for my playing, what style of music am I most interested in, etc.
