Kelli Frances Corrado has been singing, songwriting, and playing guitar for ten years. Kelli's musical training varies from the magical to the classical. Her first guitar was given to her by a friend who believed she was a natural songwriter, after hearing her sing and listening to her ideas. Her friend was right and she hasn't put the guitar down since. Kelli played guitar and sang for the band Arkade from 2001-2007. Currently, she writes music for her project Kelli's Starlight Wishes. Kelli's Starlight Wishes music can be found on the label, Aphonia Recordings.

Brian L

Instruments:

My lifelong enjoyment of music began at a very young age. Following high school, I was awarded a scholarship at Cornish College of the Arts. I transferred to the University of Washington to pursue my study of piano performance and composition. Additionally, I accepted piano-playing employment for Nordstrom's department store, private special occasions and personal projects. For nearly two decades, I have been fortunate to teach piano and continue to enjoy playing, composing and writing instructional pieces for my students.

Michael M

Instruments:

I am a composer, songwriter, piano player, recording artist, and producer.  I have released ten CDs since the year 2000.  Two of the releases are with the Monroe Institute which makes Hemi-Sync music to balance brain wave patterns and assist with learning, focus, creativity, and ADD.    I also play piano for dance classes, both modern and ballet, at the University of Washington, and other dance schools in the Puget Sound Area.

More Information About Guitar Lessons

Young students should start on a half size or three-quarter size acoustic guitar. Older students could start on an electric guitar, as long as they are able to hold it comfortably. Many student model guitars can be purchased for $150 to $200 new. An electric guitarist will need an amplifier and cables, at additional cost. Remember, higher quality instruments are easier to play and give the student the best chance of liking it.
Musika offers customized one-on-one music lessons at your home - a time saving solution for busy parents and students. The convenience of in-home guitar lessons allows you to save time without having to transport your child to class, allows your child to maximize their busy schedule, and provides a safe and familiar environment in which to learn.
Our teachers create a customized lesson plan for every student, so no two students' lesson plans will be identical. Topics covered during Musika's guitar lessons may include, but are not limited to: learning the notes on guitar, proper fretting, fingering, and strumming technique, how to read music, learning all open chords, how to play barre chords, how to tune a guitar, music theory, and most importantly, how to have fun playing the guitar!
We recommend that students looking to start guitar lessons have a clear goal in mind - such as learning to play a few of their favorite songs. When you start lessons, a teacher will help you unlock the skills required to reach your goals. Keep in mind that you might not be able to start off with the exact song you want to learn - it could take months of study and practice to learn all of the notes and chords required to turn your dream into a reality.
Students can start as young as age 6 with a half size classical guitar (nylon strings), by playing simple songs on the top strings. Most students are able to form chords by age 7 or 8, and begin learning how to play and sing along with their favorite songs. Older students will graduate to being able to handle a full size guitar around ages 10-12, which is when many students become interested in learning rock guitar and want to get an electric.
