Guitar Lessons in Bastrop, TX

Instruments: Guitar

Every student is unique when it comes to interests, pre-existing skill and knowledge, learning styles, what they hope to gain from lessons, and physical attributes such as hand and finger size that factor into how that person will play. It is my hope to get to know each individual and for me to assess and adapt to unique needs and goals. I have a lengthy list of different songs I cover and can teach, or if a student is interested in learning how to play something different or write their own music, I can assist with that as well.

I never assume a student cannot succeed. Progress comes quickly with a variety of songs supported by successive exercises and methodology. Parental involvement is highly recommended and I try to work with parents to determine motivational techniques. I have found that students need a regular practice time 4 to 5 times a week, even if it is only a few minutes at a time; but, hopefully, we can find music that they like to sit down and play.

I've been playing music for most of my life. Growing up my whole family would all gather around the piano while my father played. Seeing how inspiring and influential music could be at a young age helped me to develop a passion for it. I am very grateful to share my passion with others through teaching. I specialize in teaching improvisational styles, such as blues, jazz, and funk. I work with my students to create a good balance of a strong technical foundation and creative jamming skills which builds both the intellectual and intuitive sides of music, and helps them become well-rounded musicians.
