Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar
Teaching guitar and bass began for me around the same time I stared gigging seriously. People who were at the show or even people in other bands would come up and ask if I gave lessons. I developed a lesson plan and began teaching. I have taught both beginners and advanced players but most of my students have been just starting out. Through my program, my students typically learn how to make music with their instrument relatively quickly as I believe that is a key factor in keeping them interested in playing. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
I am a fun and very versatile guitar instructor who loves taking a student to the next level with their guitar in which ever style they may be interested in. I just recently graduated from the University of Arkansas with a guitar degree in Jazz and Classical with a minor in German. I was the lead singer/guitar player for a Blues/Jazz band in highschool and played with a few local band in Fayetteville, AR where I went to school. Read More

For piano ages 7-12: I typically start with Primer Piano Adventures or Level 1. I also use Keith Snell Scale Skill Levels for skill and chord practices which is helpful for all kinds of music! For guitar and ukulele: Hal Leonard guitar and ukulele method. These books also teach reading the notes in sheet music and understanding how to play them on the guitar or ukulele, as well as including a tab. Read More

I am 23 and have been working in music since I was 11 when I started to learn mixing and DJ techniques through the internet. I did this until I was 13 and picked up guitar through my middle school's Mariachi program. I have been playing guitar now for 10 years and have played multiple genres from mariachi, punk, metal, indie, alternative, and I now record and produce music for my bands as well as others.

Instruments: Piano Guitar
I truly believe that if students are happy and enjoying what they play they will want to practice and sound better. I encourage students to try classical but we will dive into a more modern approach. Original compositions can also be a fun great way for students to want to practice. I also have a strong music theory and technology background to really make sure they are amazed by understanding the world of music. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
I simply love what I do and do what I love when it comes to playing and teaching guitar. As I said before, I approach the student with the method of playing "by ear", so that when they have heard the chord(s), and song(s) a time or two they will have the ability to play them from memory. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
1) Daily Consistency of Practice > Long Extended Practice Sessions.
It is far better, to be playing/practicing for 30mins per day EVERYDAY and use that time effectively, rather than to play/practice for 4 hours only 3 times a week. Musical skill takes time to build, and it requires your body to build up of ALOT of new neural pathways and incredibly fine-motor control. It can't be rushed, and reinforcing your muscle memory daily is the key to progressing fast. Of course if you practice for 4 hours EVERYDAY, hey that's awesome too! No one is stopping you - but you have to use that time effectively! If you are fatigued by the 2nd hour, then all of that practice you tried to do doesn't really count, because you were probably playing without good form, or without your full concentration/attention. Short bursts of highly focused practiced are much better.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Children can start music lessons at any age after 1, or 2 years old! There are obvious limitations to playing an instrument for very young children - but there is a lot of methodology behind music education for very young children - which builds their AFFINITY for music. By the time they are 7-10 years of age when the child is physically a little more able to handle an instrument, they have gained much of their foundational musical knowledge already which allows the child to progress VERY QUICKLY! This right here could be secret to building a virtuoso!
When will I start to see results?
Well - The author Josh Kaufman believes that any skill can be improved to a "working proficiency" in just 20 hours of practise time (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MgBikgcWnY&t=3s). This works out to 45 mins a day, for one month. Now, "working proficiency" is a mostly vague statement, but I would expect a complete beginner to be able to play after 20 hours:
- Being able to play the majority of the range of your instrument (save the extreme low, and extreme high which are difficult on most instruments
- Being able to play in at least 6/12 keys, or be able to play 6 different major scales
- Be able to play a chromatic scale.
With these super fundamental milestones under your belt - you now have enough skill and knowledge to teach yourself music, and continue your journey in a self guided way. My role then becomes to help you demystify your goals and develop exercises for you to break through your barriers.
