Conrad Flater Guitar School

Hi name is Conrad Flater and I am a classical guitar performance major studying under Thomas Kikta at Duquesne University's Mary Pappert School of Music. I specialize in teaching students the Aaron Shearer method, a method of learning the guitar that breaks the instrument into a mind body and person connection. Not only will you learn proper fundamentals and very important basics that many players skip, but you will also achieve mastery of sight reading, finger picking, and a full understanding of how the hands work with the brain and how to increase your dexterity and coordination. I don't teach you how to play songs using tabs, I teach you how to become a musician first and a guitarist second.

It is lifes greatest joy to see my students achieve something they once thought to be impossible through means of hard work and practice. I love being able to watch my students grow into great talented musicians and use the lessons learned on the instrument and apply them to life.
