Guitar Lessons Beginner to Advanced
This is an ongoing guitar lesson where each week students will learn how to play songs, chords, scales and how to read music. My guitar lessons also cover the basic music theory and concepts of how music works at the pace of each student.

Homework
1-2 hours per week. Each week the student is expected to practice the concepts we learned in class, as that is what is required to see progress. The proper amount of practice time we strive for is 30 minutes a day.Assessment
Each lesson I look for specific signs of improvement like, how long a new assignment takes to complete, complete understanding and memorization of chords and scales, and of course I always recommend contacting me to update you on the progress being made.Class Experience
Each week we will meet 1 on 1 for 30 minute guitar lesson, covering concepts based on skill level including proper hand technique, music reading on guitar, guitar chords, and scales. My guitar lessons will move at the pace of my students, learning not only what they need to play guitar but also what they want to know on guitar. My style of guitar teaching is designed to guide you to every next level of guitar playing. This will be a fun and engaging class that all level of guitar players can enjoy, whether we are covering jazz and blues concepts or understanding how songs are made and put together.
Learning Goals
Students can be expect to learn picking techniques, chords, scales, music reading, music theory, music composition, and concepts of melody and harmony.
