Guitar Lessons Indiana

Instruments: Guitar

For beginning students, I will teach them the essential elements of music theory/composition, finger exercises for dexterity, chords, scales, arpeggios, basic techniques, and begin working on learning songs they enjoy. After the student has progressed and has a grasp on fundamentals, I will begin to introduce appropriate improvisation skills, encourage them to find a band and begin working with the student on song writing. For others, I try to find what the student is most interested in, guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons fun/engaging and focus on what the student is wanting to get out of lessons.

It's important to take the time to assess the skill level of every student. No student will need the plan as another as skills and faculties differ from person to person.

Music is a universal language that affects and connects us all to each other. You are never too young or too old to add music to your life. Whether advanced or amateur, the benefits of music are a blessing that carry throughout your whole life. Read More

I've been teaching people guitar since I was a teenager. I taught several of my friends how to play guitar or to play certain songs. Later, I began to teach from my home and eventually was offered a job in a music store. I've given thousands of lessons since I began teaching. I think it's important to teach students songs as quickly as possible while introducing some fundamentals like counting and giving them a number of different strumming patterns to work with. Read More
