Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following:
Depends. Like i said i have to first know what the student is interested in learning. Then we'll take it from there. I do recommend and encourage reading music but it's entirely up to the student.
A guitar lesson with me might entail the following:
It depends. Maybe learning how to read music or just working on a song that the student wants to learn. It's really up to the student. Most importantly I encourage my students to ask questions. Whatever trouble a student may be having it's my job to help him/her correct it.
The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following:
One who believes in practice. You can't get good at anything if you only do it once in a while. Especially when it comes to learning a musical instrument.
