I started teaching in high-school. I taught guitar and drums from ages 7 to 55, from the absolute beginner to someone rekindling an old habit. I had the opportunity to use the lessons I was learning in college while I was still in college. I not only was a tutor, but I had some students outside of school. This helped my skills as a teacher improve quickly. Since college, I have been performing origjnals and covers in my free time, and I really enjoy it, but eventually I would love to teach more than i perform. Read More

The entire guitar in general. Me I’ve been playing 23 years and still mastering the guitar after college and taking lessons from one of my college instructors
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Is he/she motivated and excited to learn. Ask them what songs they would like to learn. Let them know you won’t be a rock star over night. It takes a lot of dedication and disabling.

Bachelors in Guitar Performance cause I got to learn a vast variety of contemporary music and many styles over 5 years and music theory ear tracing as well as keys classes.

Hal Leonard William Lovett. These books helped me a ton when I was growing up and in college I’ve developed into a better player cause of these guitar authors.
