Guitar Lessons in Manor, TX

Instruments: Guitar

I had few teaching experience in the past; all of them are beginner students. I am currently working on my own teaching curriculum and materials. I have come up my own way to approach teaching music theory to students because traditional way of music theory teaching in school is too vague for most beginner students. Since I am experienced on guitar build and repair; I also know how to help out my students to repair or take care their own instruments. Read More

My process is based on (but does not adhere strictly to) the Classical approach to Western tonal harmony and asks that the students develop certain fundamentals of technique and theory.  In my experience, this structure creates the strongest foundation for pupils to build the rest of their musical lives on, whether professionally or solely for personal enjoyment.  All of my students are on the fast track to studying music theory.

For beginning drum set students, the program I recommend is starting with Drum Set Essentials by Peter Erskine. As skills in rudiments and basic patterns develop, I go on to materials such as Syncopation by Ted Reed (reading,coordination,technique), and Stick Control by George Lawrence Stone (technique). For piano, I go over basic theory,major and minor scales,chords and arpeggios and work in Piano For Adults by James Bastien. Read More

Instruments: Guitar

Most of my education and experience working with students comes from a background of counseling and social sciences. I try to approach teaching music and guitar in a similar way to how I would approach any other kind of teaching, and attribute my unique background and skillset to make my lessons effective for a diverse range of students. Sometimes it may take me more time than is provided within one lesson to, for example, listen to and figure out how to play and teach a song that is new to me to a student is interested in learning it, so patience is appreciated.
