Greyson JS Music Lessons

I begin by getting to know them, how long they've been playing/what they've learned, their musical taste, and how music currently fits into their life. Then I usually first ask the student which topic they'd like to learn about first or if they have any questions. We also discuss their goals and then what steps I will take to bring them there.

If they are a brand new student to music, we begin with the very fundamentals of their instrument. I always get them going with something they can start practicing right away. 

I often begin later lessons with answering a student's questions, too.

I have taught lessons on Guitar, Bass, Drums, Ukulele, Trombone, and Trumpet; I am comfortable teaching in many other areas, too.

Here's a bit about my past experience that has brought me to where I am. I have studied music performance on guitar and trombone, as well as composition and theory through college. I worked as a Sales Manager at Guitar Center, which has helped me gather lots of information about music equipment and instruments, including with recording technologies. I have practiced recording for ten years now and have a studio at home. I toured as a crew member across the country with Dennis DeYoung and the Music of Styx. This taught me much about how performing and shows work at a very high level, as well as more about equipment.

$30 for a half hour / $55 for one hour

I began by teaching family members, then friends... later I joined the Jim's Music Teaching Center in Green Bay where I greatly expanded my teaching abilities and experiences. 

I have taught all ages from 5-65. I have taught beginners and those with experience. I have taught several students with special needs (cognative, blindness, etc.).
