Guitar Lessons in Fairview, TX

Instruments: Guitar

I do my best to keep things fun and relaxed. Music should be a joy, not a chore. Guitar does require hard work though, and I expect my students to practice and show me their progress each week. I usually try to give all my students a basic understanding of music theory and to get them started reading music, even if they are mainly interested in rock or pop music. Read More

I create custom lesson plans depending on each student's musical background, stylistic preference, as well as age. For children I usually like to teach out of Hal Leonard's Guitar Method 1 and occasionally include songs they like/know as a reward for good work. For adults, it varies depending on their experience level and interests. When I teach, I try to teach not only how to physically play certain parts, but also how to think about music-- how the guitar player arrived playing that, why it works, and how to adopt similar things into one's own playing.
