What are your musical goals?
Perhaps you’ve never played an instrument before and want to for fun. Maybe you’ve been playing guitar for years and have run into obstacles and barriers to understanding music theory which have prevented you from putting the pieces together and making the improvement which you have been desiring.
I help my students build and increase their musical skills by teaching them fundamentals which are necessary to excellent musicianship, both in understanding (theory) and in practical application (through paying an instrument).When these two areas are balanced and any misunderstandings are cleared up using a methodical approach, an individual learns to play well with good technique and confidence, thus achieving the goals of why he or she came for guitar lessons in the first place.
