I like to give my students small goals until I get to know them better. Early triumphs in learning a musical instrument tend to really help keep the attention of the new player. With beginning students, I like to teach in reference to the music the student wants to play.

From experience, these are all the basic tools a student needs to work on their fundamentals before diving into full fledged solo pieces for competitions.

Some adults, however, may be interested in learning an instrument because they want to play a song they love. Read More

When I begin with any student, I like to ask what they love, what they wish, and what they'd like to do during their lessons. Depending on the answer, I may start the student with tape on the fretboard, under the strings, outlining the chords for a guitar player.
