Class Experience

These private classes will provide in depth discussions and teachings of various topics such as:

1) Chord Structure - how to play through a wide variety of chords while understanding what notes make up each chord. There are many types of chords from triads to 7's and suspended to augmented. Knowing how to find any chord just by the name is super useful for playing through any song of any genre.

2) Ear Training - it is one thing to know how to play a few licks and riffs. It's another to understand the language of music and why you enjoy hearing certain melodies and rhythms. Proper ear training exercises will improve your guitar abilities from the perspective of becoming a musician...not jut a guitarist.

3) Song Composition - songs are made up of a variety of sections and parts. From verses to choruses, bridges to solos, intros to outroes and pre- choruses to post- choruses. Knowing how to find and interpret the many sections of a song will improve your abilities to dissect the songs you love most and use your creativity to create your own songs.

4) Assessments -  each of my levels includes an assessment of your abilities gathered in each level. These private classes are also used to determine your abilities of each level to help you get into the next.

Private classes are quite useful for so many more reasons than just the ones listed above.

The main purpose of these classes are to provide customized instruction specifically tailored for your level. 1:1 classes are meant to help you become the guitarist and musician you aim to be!
