Guitar Lessons Monroe County, IN

Instruments: Guitar, Classical Guitar

I emphasize the importance of proper posture, technique, the ability to read music, and knowledge of the fretboard. Accordingly, I always assign students exercises meant to develop and strengthen a variety of aspects of both left-hand and right-hand technique. The pace at which we move through the exercises is dependent on the student's own level of motivation and how much practice they do. I encourage students to practice daily for at least 30 minutes, but recommend more if they wish to see more dramatic results. Read More

I have a very free teaching style. I am very organized and structured when it comes to teaching and my lessons, however I want my students to have fun, and feel that they can come to me with any request's that they have for their lessons.

Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar, Harmonica

I have been playing since 1998 and have been in several bands from Indianapolis to here in the Michiana area. I am self taught on guitar and piano and play the cello, harmonica and mandolin but have extensive experience on the guitar. Around 2009 I started teaching a few students guitar in the Elkhart Indiana area and with my work schedule had to stop. Since then I have been in several local band projects including a group called Megarush. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar

For piano, I typically use the Faber Piano Adventures Series; however, I am open to other method books as well. The Faber series has theory, technique, lesson, and performance books, each with different skills and techniques to learn. I find that those books offer the most comprehensive learning. In addition to the Faber books, I also utilize online worksheets for supplemental learning. For guitar, I typically use online worksheets and chord sheets, and from there, I encourage students to purchase specific guitar books they are interested in (for example, Disney books, classic rock books, Beatles books, etc.).

I have a positive and encouraging music studio! I like to see students progress at all levels beginners through advanced. I love to get to know my students and use different books, songs, techniques, to really reach their level and motivation. Everyone comes to lessons for different reasons and to get different experiences from it. My job as a teacher is to reach them where they are at and encourage them to push a little further. Read More
