Guitar Lessons Collin-Rockwall County, TX

Instruments: Guitar

I started playing guitar when I was about 12 years old for one reason: I loved music and wanted to be just like the musicians in the bands I was interested in. Over the years I've learned a lot about what it takes to be a real performing guitarist and I am interested in helping students realize their dreams of starting bands and discovering the joy of performing and playing with other like-minded musicians.

My methods include a interview process where I get to know the student's goals and desires. Sometimes this includes learning a certain piece of music or style of music or interest to jam with friends as a hobby. When I can get a sense of their goals it helps me design a course fit for your student's learning interest. We begin with a theory review of basics and then follow a ear training test to see if the student can identify changing pitches and rhythm tests. Read More

In teaching my students, I prefer to teach them to "play by ear", because when they learn chords and songs, they are usually able to play a snog by memory after hearing it a time or two.
