Instruments:
I am open to whatever a student seeks to learn through guitar lessons. The more attention I give to a student's interests, the more motivation I see in their abilities. I feel that giving students goals helps them learn at an increasingly consistent rate.
Instruments:
For classical guitar students, I've found the best methods to building a good foundation as well as technique is both the Christopher Parkening and Frederick Noad methods. The student also gets a great selection of repertoire to go along with the basics of technique in each. For all other styles of playing, I've found that the Berklee Guitar Methods work well in building the fundamentals in a students playing in the beginning stages. I also like to get an idea of what music style/artists a student is interested in so that I can work that into the lessons as well. This way, I get what I feel they should know and they find out what they want to learn out of each lesson.
Instruments:
I've been teaching impromptu guitar lessons since high school, so I have tons of experience in getting newcomers comfortable with the basics in no time at all. I always look forward to meeting new students and helping them achieve their goals. Everyone has their own unique taste in music, and I love to work with people to discover how their interests can best be expressed through their instrument. I also encourage students to expand their taste as they grow and broaden their repertoire. It's always exciting to see students progress and unlock their potential to use music as a new form of creative expression.
Instruments:
I am a young but very experienced instructor and vocalist. I am currently completing my vocal performance degree at Duquesne University. When not teaching, I perform with the Mt. Lebanon United Lutheran Chancel Choir, and I cantor Mass at St. Benedict the Abbot in Peters Township and St. Louise de Marillac in Bethel Park. I have been teaching privately for three years, and have worked with David's Music House and Accelerando Music Conservatory.
Instruments:
For my beginning students, I teach the INstrument first. What each knob does, the names of the strings and the names of every note on the Bass/Guitar/Keyboard.The Major and Minor scales come next but examples of each are played for the student so that the color of the scales become familiar. I teach how to communicate with other musicians. Charts, Tabs and Nashville number systems are included. A full knowledge of the instrument and how it is used and played is my goal for each student. Keeping their individual gifts and approaches to the instrument must be recognized and enhanced.
