Homework
1-2 hours per week. After each lesson, students will receive learning materials and related assignments for practice. Learning materials will be in printable form (PDF), and/or audio practice tracks (Mp3/WAV), and will be posted to the classroom.Assessment
I provide student assessments upon parent request.Class Experience
This is a one-time "trial lesson" for students who are considering joining my ongoing lessons. I accept students of all skill levels, including those who are brand new to guitar, as well as those with previous guitar experience who are looking to make a big improvement. I tailor lessons according to each individual student and his or her current skill level. Beginner students will receive a big focus on proper technique right from the start, whereas with experienced students, I will help correct problems and give much needed direction for improvement. My students are also encouraged to express their own musical creativity and to explore their “personal favorite” musical genres. And while I believe that learning new songs and exploring creativity are an essential part of lessons, I know that for most students, the feeling of making progress is one of the greatest rewards. Learning the guitar is fun, but getting really GOOD at guitar is even MORE fun! That's why I incorporate musical play-along tracks that maximize lessons and accelerate student progress. I provide custom “practice tracks” quickly build important guitar skills like rhythm, timing, speed, and technique – and most importantly – they really are rewarding and fun!
Learning Goals
Appropriate learning goals in music always depend upon child’s experience, skill level, and interests. All students will learn important guitar concepts such as chords, melodies, riffs, soloing, correct fingering, and strumming techniques. Students will also learn how to read guitar music and learn songs using Guitar Tablature, which is the world standard for reading music on guitar. Upon request, I also teach music theory, standard music notation, improvisation/jamming, and singing along while playing guitar.
Other Details
Supply List
I provide everything needed for learning; all that is required of the student is to have a GUITAR and TUNER. If you are interested in lessons and need advice on purchasing a guitar or tuner, please message me, and I’ll be happy to assist.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I’m a full-time music teacher, and I operate private-lesson studios in South Central Pennsylvania. I’ve developed a guitar curriculum that has been circulated world-wide, and I’ve trained other teachers in the most effective scope and sequence for teaching guitar. I possess a comprehensive knowledge of music theory and have scored songbooks for multiple instruments, including guitar, ukulele, flute, recorder, trumpet, saxophone, clarinet, violin, and cello.
As a multi-instrumentalist, I also have extensive live-performance experience in venues such as night clubs, casinos, vineyards, country clubs, and music festivals. I’ve participated in a number of bands and studio sessions, and I’m fluent in a variety of musical genres including rock, pop jazz, blues, folk, classical, reggae, metal, fingerstyle, and more.
