the Student Experience
Identify student goals, priorities, favorite styles, and preferences.
Based on experience level, start with exercises for immediate results--or warm up with learning some of your favorite songs/chosen material if that's your speed!
Leave each lesson feeling like you learned something new and feeling confident on how to practice and apply it.
Have you always wished you could play guitar, perhaps like some of your musical heroes?
Maybe you've started to teach yourself, but want to progress more steadily, or plateaued after trying to learn from free online resources.
Or maybe you are looking for your child to channel their energy and creativity, and build a lifelong skill.
Perhaps you played years ago and would like to pick up the ol' axe in your closet once again.
Ask Yourself:
We won't teach you songs. We will teach you how to learn ANY song you like!
