Guitar Lessons Scott County, KY

Instruments: Guitar, Drums, Bass Guitar, Orchestral Percussion, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I began teaching drums and percussion around my senior year of high school (1999). For guitar/bass guitar, I began teaching sometime in 2009. I feel very fortunate regarding my teaching experiences. In the beginning and still today, I tend to spark a musical interest in people through performance -- and just as often -- conversation. Those I've had the fortune to work with have varied widely in age and experience. The majority of my experience has been with young adults, teens, and pre-teens. Read More

I started teaching guitar when I was in High School to my friends that I met through singing beside and learning music theory in the choir room.

My methods vary from student to student, but a constant in my methodology is doing what I can to make the student fall in love with the instrument in their own way. Some students progress better with curriculum and disciplines right off the bat, while others need the instrument as more of an expression and an outlet, so Ive learned to respect that. If the student seems to take interests in the disciplines of the instrument right from the start, my go-to curriculum for guitar is Mel Bay. Read More

One of the most rewarding moments for me as a teaching is that "lightbulb moment" when a student finally gets it, and I know that I helped guide them there. I set realistic goals for all of my students, but still push them to continue to achieve that which is just outside of their current ability. This enables the students to continue to progress and not become stagnant in their growth as an overall musician. Read More
