Guitar Lessons Suffolk County, VA

Instruments: Guitar

My name is Phillip, and I'm a passionate musician with a love for teaching. I started playing guitar when I was in 6th grade of middle school, and started taking lessons, and grew with experience from there. I went to college to study business and music, while also still taking lessons by my favorite instructor, Gary Rhum from Rhum Academy of Music, which is also where my teaching began. I volunteered to help with the Academy with upkeep, as well as teaching and instructing children in guitar. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

The most important thing for me is that the student is playing in every lesson. I like to know what the student enjoys listening to, and go from there. It is my belief that there is nothing too hard to learn. Whatever the student is interested in, I promise we can get there. Learning songs not only helps build interests, but is one of the best ways to learn. I strongly believe in the importance of improvisation because I believe it helps develop many skills, and I love jamming with students in lessons. Read More

My teaching style is casual, friendly and positive. Eveyone progresses at a different pace, so I set realistic goals and use different approaches based on the various learning styles -- visual, tactile and auditory -- that work best for each individual. I play along with you in unison, in accompaniment and in duets, starting with the very beginning lessons. I want even the simple things to sound good when you play them because that is what motivates you to keep learning more and more. Read More

My teaching experience began while in college. I taught private piano lessons while as a nanny for a year. In the 2017-2018 school year, I taught in Greensville County Public Schools as an elementary music teacher and enjoyed teaching my beginning students classical and modern music. I encourage my students to regularly practice their instruments (20 minutes a day) in order to progress in their musical journey. My main goal is to make sure my students are engaged. Read More

My teaching experience started in 2005 while still in high school, and I have been teaching consistently every since. While teaching I try to foster a fun and informative enviorment. For me playing guitar is one of the most fun and enjoyable things I've found. So teaching is my way of sharing the gift and joy that is music. I try to help students find that joy inside themselves too. Since I am so passionate about music I enjoy talking about it and sharing it with others which makes me engaging and enthusiastic teacher.
