Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Beginning Guitar Students
For someone just starting out, we’ll work on building a solid foundation for playing the guitar. Examples: exercises for building up finger strength and coordination, basic chords, scales and reading tablature. Also an introduction to music theory. We’ll also work on creating good habits and practice discipline.
Intermediate/Advanced Guitarist
After evaluating, I’ll formulate a lesson plan to build on and improve the student’s skill level. Which includes: Music theory, technique, writing and composition. Also, Advanced soloing and the techniques involved, including improvisation.
