Class Experience

Private guitar lessons. 1-on-1 instruction individualized to each learner's unique needs and goals. Perfect for complete beginners, intermediate players, or advanced players who are looking to develop new skills and further their technique. No previous experience or knowledge is required.

Possible topics that will be worked on:
-How to hold the guitar and pick
-How to tune the guitar
-Playing position and rest position
-How to strum
-Hand/finger position
-How to read chords, tab, and music notation
-How to play chords and chord progressions
-How to count and play strumming patterns on the guitar
-How to play songs using chords
-How to play melodies

Bring your guitar and any music that you may be working on! I will also provide you with exercises and songs for your skill level during our lesson. 

I encourage family members to assist their learners if needed during the first lesson, but to remain off-screen during this class per Outschool policy. Frequent modeling, clear directions, and repetition will be used during instruction to maximize students' success. After a student's first lesson, I highly suggest allowing your student to learn and play their instrument independently to allow them to progress into self-sufficient and self-motivated musicians.

Learning Goals

Students will develop and improve their guitar skills such as how to hold the instrument, playing position and rest position, how to strum, proper hand and finger position, play chords and chord progressions, count and play strumming patterns, and how to play songs using chords, and how to play melodies. They will also improve their rhythm, counting skills, music reading skills, and pattern recognition.

Other Details

Supply List
Students must have their own guitar (6 strings). Guitars must be tuned before the start of every class (parents please assist with this as needed). Songs and exercises will be provided during each lesson.
