Epic Chords Guitar/ Ukulele And Singing Lessons

When starting with a new student, my first step is always to get to know them—understanding their musical interests, goals, and any previous experience they may have. Whether they’re eager to strum along to their favorite songs or are just beginning their musical journey, I tailor each lesson to meet their individual needs. **1. **Initial Assessment: I begin with a relaxed, no-pressure conversation and a simple playing assessment (if they have prior experience) to gauge their current skill level and musical interests. This helps me develop a personalized lesson plan. **2. **Setting Goals: Together, we establish clear, achievable goals. This could be anything from mastering basic chords and strumming patterns to learning to play and sing specific songs. **3. Customized Lesson Plans: Based on the student’s goals, I create a step-by-step lesson plan. We start with the basics—like proper hand positioning, chord shapes, and rhythm—before moving on to more advanced techniques and song playthroughs. **4. Interactive Learning: I emphasize hands-on practice during lessons. Students play along with me, and we break down songs into manageable sections, focusing on rhythm and timing. I also encourage students to sing along as they play if that aligns with their goals. **5. Feedback and Adjustment: After each session, I provide constructive feedback and make any necessary adjustments to the lesson plan. I also offer tips for home practice, ensuring steady progress. **6. Review and Progress Tracking: Periodically, we review what’s been learned, celebrating milestones and setting new challenges to keep the learning process engaging and rewarding. By focusing on personalized, goal-oriented lessons, I help each student build confidence and develop their unique musical voice.

I’ve been passionate about guitar since I first picked it up as a teenager, dedicating years to mastering chords, progressions, and rhythm guitar. My journey began with self-taught exploration, learning to play and sing along to my favorite songs. Over time, I honed my skills through continuous practice and study, focusing on the fundamentals that make a great rhythm guitarist. I also have extensive experience teaching children, which has equipped me with the patience and creativity needed to make learning enjoyable and accessible for all ages. While I’m always working to improve my skills, especially in solo and lead guitar, my strength lies in helping beginners and mid-level players find their voice with the guitar, especially those who want to accompany their singing.
