Luke Olver Guitar Lessons

My teaching approach:

I give students a great, fun learning experience to make sure they are getting their money\'s worth and attaining or surpassing their personal goals. Learning any instrument should be a fun process while still challenging, so I ensure my students are understanding what they\'re playing and achieving satisfaction in meeting those challenges,

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following:

If a student has never picked up a guitar, I immediately get them familiar and comfortable with the instrument. I teach basic knowledge of the instrument and will usually have beginners playing chords within the first lesson. Students with prior experience can show me something they know while I observe their technique and look for any bad habits that can be corrected to improve playing. It is easy for me to pick up on simple technical problems a student may have and not realize.

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following:

I work with students on an individual basis to make sure their personal goals are met and that I am teaching in a way that speaks directly to them. I teach all necessary information from the ground up, proper technique, chord shapes, strum patterns, chord transitions, etc. Basically, I can teach anything that a student needs to know.

The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following:

My ideal student is anyone of any age, gender, race or religion...as long as they truly have the desire to learn :)
