Lauren Buscemi Guitar Lessons

My teaching approach: I am currently a music education major at Adelphi university. I have played in rock groups and with classical guitar ensembles. I have also performed on solo classical guitar and as a songwriter on acoustic guitar. I have been playing guitar for 10 years. I am willing to teach students any style that they like. Along with guitar playing skills I can also teach music theory and reading skills. I have also had experience playing the trumpet, harmonica, drums, electric bass and piano. My influences are: My influences range from the classic rock guitarists such as Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton to classical performers such as Segovia and Christopher Parkening. My guitar lessons take place in: The student's home Guitar lessons typically take place on these days and hours: The hours I teach are usually 2- 9 although this depends on when the student is available for lessons. Guitar Techniques: Lead guitar, Rhythm guitar, Fingerstyle, Slide Guitar, Performance, Improvisation, Reading Music, Music Theory, Scales and Exercises, Song Writing, Recording and Production Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following: In the first lesson students are encouraged to play anything that they know for purposes of evaluation. If they have no playing experience the first lesson will consist of learning the parts and proper way of holding the instrument. The first lesson will also be used to find out what the student will like to learn in the next few lessons which will allow me to prepare a lesson plan. A guitar lesson with me might entail the following: Guitar lessons structure is based upon the student. Serious students will focus on theory and reading skills as well as song repertoire. Less serious students will work on songs and skills of their choosing. I have experience working with students of all ages. The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following: The ideal guitar student is anyone who is willing to learn.
