Guitar Lessons Sumner County, TN

Instruments: Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

My teaching experience dates back to the early 1990's. Since that time I have consistently taught private lessons while also working in the music industry as a professional guitarist, singer/songwriter, and consultant. When teaching I employ what I describe as a practical, real-world methodology. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument.

Learning needs to be fun, pure and simple. Gone are the days of the dictatorial martinet. The main purpose of music lessons is so that people can learn to enjoy playing their instrument.

I am a music coach that helps students push through the frustration that comes with learning something new, to the gratifying victory of reaching personal goals. With typical and non-typically developing students, adaptive lessons are possible with the use of larger picks or adaptive instruments.

My music therapy experience has prepared me to think outside of the box and provide a musical experience that students will enjoy and want to continue into the future. Read More

Most beginner students will start with basic technique: How to hold a pick, where to place your fingers, etc. After that I like to move on to chords as quickly as possible. This may require some extended lessons on finger strength and technique. If I am teaching bass, the next step is feel and groove. I would obviously include some more general music terms and ideas throughout the lessons. More advanced students will get a custom tailored experience based on their interests. Read More
