Instruments: Guitar Ukulele Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I began studying the guitar in the summer of 2010 before auditioning at Middle Tennessee State University in the fall of 2011. Between 2013-2015, I began completing transcriptions for various sized guitar ensembles of Scriabin, Debussy, Ravel, Bach and Schubert piano and chamber works made possible with research grants from the Undergraduate Research Experience and Creative Activity Foundation. The fall of 2013, I began instructing soloists and ensembles of wide-ranging skill-levels, performing in masterclasses for world-class performers and pedagogues, competing in solo and chamber music festivals, and offering recitals in solo, chamber, and guitar orchestra settings.

John L

Instruments: Trombone

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream would actually be to perform my own Trombone and Piano Sonata. In my senior recital at the university that wasn't an option. I was however requested to perform a brass quintet of my own composition, which turned out nicely. One of the pieces I did perform was Eric Ewazen's Sonata for Trombone and Piano. It has slowly worked it's way into becoming an important addition to the trombone literature. At the time however, it was a very new work and was considered very contemporary as many hadn't heard it yet. My senior recital was in the Spring of 2004. It was written in 1998.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
When I went to music school my dream was to receive both an Orchestral Performance degree as well as a Music Composition and Theory degree. I actually ran out of financial aid and had to settle for just the Composition and Theory degree itself, as the Performance degree would've taken me one more year. I graduated with 178 credit hours while financial aid cuts you off at 180 hours. My performing history beyond school is very extensive however, and having the Theory degree has made me able to play in a variety of clefs. It also makes me able to teach Composition and Theory in greater depth.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I don't and can't expect all of my students to practice and do exercises as much as I do. On a typical day I can do daily exercises for one and a half to two and a half hours. I will usually follow that with a good series of different keyed improvisations for anywhere from one to four hours. Beyond that, if there is music I need to go over for an upcoming performance, I can work on that for another two to three hours. It is normal for me to practice and perform a full eight hour work day every day if possible, sometimes more.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use many different resources to choose from. I don't have anything bad to say about any of the method books I've seen and used. I tend to pick and choose sections from different areas to address different things. There are sections that have helped me greatly, some that have helped my other students, and some that I pick for individual students. I even have copies of old out of print exercises from past trombone professors to help build range and help in other areas. They're chosen for and tailored towards each individual student.

More Information About Guitar Lessons

  • Buying a Guitar

    Smaller guitars are easier to play for younger students. It is recommended that young students begin by learning on a half sized or three-quarter sized acoustic guitar. Older students could start off on an electric guitar, as long as they find it natural and comfortable to handle. It is possible to get hold of a brand new student model guitar for around $150 - $200. For those looking to play electric guitar, remember that an amplifier and cables will be needed, which will have to be purchased separately. A student will likely enjoy their playing, the easier it is to do. In general, the higher quality instruments are nicer and easier to play, which will contribute to the student's enjoyment and development.

  • Adult Guitar Lessons

    For adults who are looking to learn to play the guitar, we recommend that they do so with some clear goals in mind. Maybe you want to learn to play some of your favorite songs, join a band, or write your own music? Whatever the aim, the experienced teachers in our network can help unlock the skills necessary to make those goals a reality. It can take time, often months, to develop the techniques and co-ordination required to play the guitar at a competent level. The most effective way to progress with your playing is to take regular lessons and practice often.

  • Guitar Lessons for Kids

    The earliest suggested age that students can start their guitar lessons is 6 years old. Students of this age will find it much easier to learn on a half-sized classical guitar with nylon strings. They will start off by learning to play simple melodies on the top strings. Students can begin to form chords, as well as play and sing along to songs, by about age 7 or 8. When students get to age 10-12, they should be able to comfortably handle a full-sized guitar. Students often like to play rock music by this age, and will therefore want to play the electric guitar.
