FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to find out what the student hopes to accomplish with their lessons (play like a rock God? sing and play? write? improvise? etc.). Then I like to find out their favorite artists and use songs from those artists to structure lessons around.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been teaching for several years. I have a background in teaching and training. I have played guitar for over two decades. I have played in numerous bands and also served as a worship leader for many years.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Yes. I currently charge $20 per 30 minute lesson. No contracts. No obligations. I can do video lessons on multiple platforms or meet in-person. I will travel to the student's home for an additional $10 per lesson.
How did you get started teaching?
I have always had a passion for music. As I got older and settled down with family, I thought I would give teaching a try. I get great satisfaction out of seeing students succeed in music and life.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with all types of students from 7 years of age to 60 plus, boys, girls, men women, pairs and groups. I teach at beginner and intermediate levels.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Meet the person first. Do they ask questions? Are they concerned with helping you reach your goals or just trying to fill their roster? Do they communicate well? Do they seem to be patient? Do they have a personalised approach or cookie cutter approach. Teaching has a lot to do with listening and communicating.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
How comitted are you to learning this instrument? How much time are you willing to put into practice? Are you willing to follow through on the practice assignments given by the instructor before your next lesson? What do you want to do with your newly acquired skills- become a professional musician, enjoy a hobby, impress a girl/friend/family,etc?
