Guitar Lessons Monroe County, IN

Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar, Harmonica

I am so pleased when a student understands and excels at something and when they have creative methods of memorization. All people are different when it comes to learning so the beginning lessons are to find out what style is detrimental to this person and how we will execute a lesson plan. Once the lesson plan is laid out and the groundwork is set we will get to work and the student will be left with something tangible to look at for the next time we get together. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Ukulele, Keyboard

My teaching experience dates back to college. I began teaching my friends (piano and ukulele), and helping them improve on their instruments! After I graduated college I received a job teaching private and group lesson, in Maryland. I taught piano, guitar, and violin classes and private in-home lessons! I enjoyed teaching my students not only the basics of an instrument, but also fun songs that they enjoyed playing! I enjoyed teaching knowledge of music and instruments, but I also enjoyed seeing my students improve as the days went by! Read More

Every student learns differently, so by finding out what inspires my student, I am able to create individiualized lesson plans that cater to my student's needs without losing focus on the fundamentals of music. Music is such a blessing and should be fun! Ample time is given to students to discover their own music and inherent rhythms while studying the vast pedigree of music that has come before us. My lesson plans incorporate everything from reading writing music, jam sessions (often times with me!), and recording time. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Classical Guitar

I have spent the past three years teaching group and individual lessons in pop and classical guitar as part of my graduate studies at Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music. This means I have taught college-aged students exclusively, up to this point. However, I am completely open to teaching students of all ages. Most of my students have been complete beginners who have little to no experience making music, so I am absolutely comfortable working with novices. Read More
