Guitar Lessons With Jack Broad

My teaching approach: i've had many years of private teaching experience including teaching at the college level. some of my former students have gone on to major in music and are now professional musicians themselves. i like to find out what my students' goals are from day one and help them achieve them in an enjoyable way. no two students are alike and i believe in custom-tailoring my lessons to each students' needs.

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following: i always ask what kinds of music my new students like and what their goals are. i also usually have them play something for me. if it's a more advanced student, we may play together and i will assess where to go from there

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following: every student is different and i don't have a set routine that each student follows. some students are interested in jazz or rock improvisation, some students are interested in learning songs and guitar solos, and other students are more interested in learning music theory and how to apply it musically

The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following: someone who has an open mind, willing to listen to new kinds of music, and someone who invests quality time into regular practice sessions
