CURRICULUM

I teach effective practice strategies for maximum progress.  This is facilitated through quality lesson formats, and materials customized around the student's individual needs & goals.

 


Beginning students will learn:                                                                                                                            


 

  • Reading basic modern notation, chord charts, and tablature

  • Common chords, strumming and picking patterns

  • Basic scale theory and an introduction to key signatures

  • Cool songs and a better ear for music!!!

   
Intermediate students will learn:


 

  • Interval and in-depth chord theory

  • Hybrid Picking techniques

  • Improvisational soloing and in-depth scale theory

  • Interpreting fake music and lead sheets

  • Technique in performance

  • Composition and songwriting

 

Students may also learn about booking shows, guitar/music gear and the recording process as well. 


Each beginner student is expected to:

 

  • Practice approximately 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week

  • Bring their own dedicated "music"  notebook, which will be updated weekly with assignments

  • Learn to use a guitar tuner and metronome

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Though not all students desire to be a guitar shredder every student is required to learn some fundamental scales.  Some younger students may initially need parental help with developing discipline for practice sessions. 

I use several fantastic method books that help facilitate student practice time.  They are fun, affordable, available locally, and help reiterate key aspects of guitar lessons.
