Class Experience
Beginner - Advanced Level
This is a private tutor session on an instrument of choice (guitar, ukulele, harmonica, or banjo). The topics covered in the session are learner-directed or determined by the teacher after assessing the student's skill and ability level. Typical tutor sessions last for 30 minutes. This session may be a good fit for young children who have difficulty focusing or longer periods of time. This could also be suitable for students who practice well independently and just need a few new techniques, strumming patterns, or chord progressions to practice on their own time. **For the most efficient use of class time, please indicate the student's instrument, approximate experience or ability level, and if there is any specific technique, skill, or song to focus on for the short 15-minute session. Here are some concepts we may cover in the session - instrument basics - chord shapes - strumming patterns - rhythm - picking individual notes and scales - dynamics - practicing or learning a particular song of the student's choice or a song that matches the student's experience level

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Grand Valley State University
I teach music classes for the ukulele, guitar, and harmonica. I teach classes about writing, debating, and creating logical arguments without fallacies. I have a small farm and live in a yurt in western Colorado. My wife, Brooke VanDyke, is an excellent ukulele teacher on Outschool as well.
I enjoy connecting with each student and adapting my teaching style to best fit his or her needs.
