Dan Schwein Guitar Lessons
About
My teaching approach:
I offer affordable basic lessons for kids and I will provide the guitar if one is not owned. I have been playing guitar for 15+ years and I currently play in the Worship Band at Lifepoint Church. I still remember the frustration when I was first learning to play as a teenager. If it was not for the love of music, I would have quit. That is exactly why I decided to start "Fun With Guitars". Learning to play the guitar should be enjoyable, rewarding, and most of all fun! I use a basic teaching method geared around getting the student to play recognizable music almost immediately.
My influences are:
George Strait, Robert Earl Keen, Hillsong United, Chris Tomlin, The Beatles, The Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Green Day, Metallica, and many others.
My guitar lessons take place in:
The teacher's studio

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following:
The introductory lesson for a beginner mainly involves introductions and conversation, discussing the parts of the guitar in detail, and begininning to work on form (posture, finger placement, etc.) If the student has previous experience, I will ask them a series of questions and have them actually perform what they know. This will allow me to gauge where to start with their teachings and to advance from there.
A guitar lesson with me might entail the following:
A typical lesson would start with some conversational and laughter to set the mood. After tuning, we would review the previous week's lesson. If I feel we have maximized the lesson potential we will move on to the next lesson. The plan is to keep progressing week after week gaining more experience and becoming more advanced.
The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following:
A child with a love for music and eager to learn and practice the art of making it with a guitar.
