Instruments: Guitar Mandolin Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I've found that with any instrument, its important to pick music that stretches you, but also music that the student likes or loves to keep them interested and engaged.

I want my students to be successful. I will give them to tools to need to learn to language of music. I will direct them to the materials to help them with that goal.

For beginners this means, not only helping them learn the rudiments and basics of music, but also exposing them to various styles and approaches they may not otherwise encounter. Usually, this will lead a student to a level of inspiration where they see the learning of a musical instrument as a lifetime commitment and a journey that is constantly exciting and demanding.
