Guitar Lessons Phoenix County, AZ

I like to see where each student is in terms of what there level and understanding of music is. I like to know what your goals are and adapt my style to help you achieve them.

I believe that my students should have high expectations and have fun while completing goals. I make sure lessons are fun and progressive. I hold my students to high expectations so when they meet their goal they actually kill two birds with one stone (ex: figuring out a difficult passage in school music while progressing in technique exercises). I give students accompanying assignments to be supplemental to what they have in technique or to help with school music. Read More

For students who are completely new to guitar, I show them some basic chords, then we find a song they enjoy that utilizes these shapes and we learn it.

If they are already comfortable with many scales, I show them how they are all related to one another through chords and how these can help the see the fretboard in ways they would have never thought of themselves.

I am passionate about students not only exploring musical styles but really understanding every aspect of the music they are learning, including the history of the musical style, the composers and the more well known performers.

I also encourage every student to explore various musical styles, even when they claim to have a special favorite, this way their music world is expanded. Read More
