Why Take Private Lessons?
You get answers to your questions and instruction tailored to your specific needs – With private guitar lessons, you can choose the direction you want to take. You are not limited by the “one size fits all” format of books and videos. You get exactly the information you need, when you need it.
You get the personal attention that only a live instructor can provide – No computer program can watch you play and correct the curve in your fingers or adjust the angle of your wrist for maximum performance.
You learn how to practice effectively – Under the guidance of a good teacher you’ll learn the right way to practice. You can correct your mistakes right away and achieve your musical goals that much faster.
You stay motivated – Staying motivated is key to achieving your musical goals. Nothing is more motivating than the one-on-one relationship between you and a teacher who cares about your progress and is committed to seeing you reach your potential.
You get results – Results are the bottom line and the surest path to having serious fun with your playing. You could try to make it on your own… but private lessons will get you there MUCH FASTER!
Guitar Should Be Fun
If it’s not fun, why do it? There are much more productive ways of not having fun. Learning any musical instrument can feel awkward, so it helps to have a teacher who wants you to feel confident and relaxed while you’re learning.
How I Make it Fun
Santa Clarita Guitar Lessons should be fun, and I’ll teach you the songs you love. I’ll make it not too easy and not too hard and I’ll bring my love of music and teaching to each lesson. Learning to play the Guitar is a rewarding and fun experience that you will always keep with you.
Philosophy
I approach private music lessons in a unique and compelling way. Utilizing a set curriculum as a foundation, I tailor each lesson to the individual student focusing on their goals and ambitions for musicianship. Teaching playing fundamentals backed by the underlying theory, I strive to bring out the creativity and exploration of music in every student.
Who
I work with both kids and adults. Many guitar teachers avoid teaching kids. Some lack formal training, some lack patience, and some just prefer the company of adults. I have an AA in Music Education, years of experience teaching students and I love working with children.
What
I specialize in teaching beginning and intermediate guitarists who want to play rock and/or folk music on the electric or acoustic guitar. Some of my students want to be the next rock stars, others dream of strumming tunes with their family by the campfire. Learning guitar is a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone.
