Guitar Lessons Indiana

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.).

Since then I have been in several local band projects including a group called Megarush. Read More

From there I teach finger numbers, frets and how to properly play notes. I then like to give my student the option of picking a song of their choice, and work with them on the different notes. For vocal lessons, I like to start out doing warm-ups and finding the students vocal range. Once I have established that, I like to work on different songs to find the students best style! Read More

As a lifelong musician I can truley say other than playing my Guitar the second most rewarding thing is doing my part to give it back. Pay it forward if you will. Teach other individuals a modern approach to Guitar. Personally I use the C.A.G.E.D system to help get my students familier with Chords, scales, and also arppegioes. I can never stress enough the importance of intervals and harmonic awareness. Read More
