Guitar Lessons from Beginner to Advanced
Whether your just starting out or looking for further improvement, I can get you on the right track. I cover a wide variety of genres including rock, folk, country, gospel, blues, jazz, reggae, swing, ragtime, funk and pop. I also teach sight reading, chord chart/tab reading and basic music theory. Each lesson is designed to meet specific goals of students. All ages! It Is never to early or late to start playing.
Locations
I provide lessons in my home studio, through Westlake Lessons or at the Music and Arts Store in Sunset Valley.
For First Timers
If you claim to know nothing about music or the guitar I would recommend reading this information before the first lesson.
Curriculum
I prefer dividing the lessons into two parts, but I am very flexible for adjustments based on the student. I typically focus on sight reading, technique and theory the first part of the lesson. The second part of the lesson usually focuses more on learning chords or guitar parts for songs.
I use the Berkeley Press Basic Guitar Book by William Leavitt. These books are used for the Berkley school of music. For the kids I use Hal Leonard's Guitar Method "Guitar For Kids" by Bob Morris.
