Tyren Hines Guitar Lessons
4 Reviews
By teaching guitar lessons to all ages since I was 16 years old, I find that it is necessary to instruct everyone differently. Each individual has their own learning style and enjoys different genres of music. Most traditional instructors will fail when trying to create a natural learning environment and truly connect with their students. Exceed your goals and expectations with my personalized instructing methodology.

Music Is Natural
3 Reviews
What I'm happiest and most proud about is watching someone become a guitarist in the most fun and natural way possible. It really is a shared experience of discovery for both teacher and student. My approach to teaching is focused on the individual and not a regimented theory-based curriculum. One of the things that sets my lessons apart is my ability to teach my students how to compose their own songs. It's a natural progression and is taught if the student would like to go beyond simply playing the guitar and other people's music.

Having fun while learning is the key to success. At first, we'll focus is on "what does this student enjoy?" Then, you'll be given what you need.
Do you want to become a singing pianist? We can start by using the chord method and then integrate the classical method. Colleges do not teach this!
