Guitar Lessons Birmingham County, AL

Instruments: Guitar

I'm brand new to teaching guitar, so my methods are somewhat flexible with regards to student needs. I have experience both with written music and tabs, so student preference will determine which route to take. I've always found lessons to be more effective when instructors utilized the song method; to me, introducing elements of theory through this method makes the information "stickier." I hope students come away from each lesson motivated to practice and improve; ultimately, a student takes away what he or she puts in. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar

I teach students how to practice smarter and more efficiently with the time they have available in their own schedules. I believe that good, consistent practice is the key to truly developing a student's musical abilities and potential. I also like to develop each student's abilities to perform in various musical settings: playing along to musical tracks; developing their ear; performing with bands; playing solo excursions; and enhancing their ablities and potential for bringing their skills to potential, future sessions.

I try to setup to allow students to learn at their own pace. I love seeing my students learn and reach their full potential. Finding out what motivates a student can help me customize their lessons. I acknowledge a student's progress and make lessons engaging to keep the students eager to learn. Encouraging the student to exceed their own benchmarks is a vital role I play as a instructor. Some students need additional work and practice which is fairly typical. Read More

While I have been teaching my friends and family music skills since I myself have been a music student, I began my formal music teaching career at the age of 19. My first teaching position was with the Tuscaloosa County-based music conservatory, Musical Beginnings. I worked with this conservatory for over three years in the form of a group piano teacher, a private piano teacher, and a private guitar teacher. I taught for Musical Beginnings from April 2013 to July 2016. Read More
