Homework
4+ hours per week. I'll give students something to practice for the next lesson each time we meet. How long it takes really depends on the student's level of playing, what they are learning, and how fast they want to progress. 1 hour, 5 days a week is the minimum I suggest to see improvement. Every student is different and it's normal to take time and effort to master a new skill. I do my best to encourage my students along the way!
Assessment
If a student chooses to sign up for continuous lessons, I evaluate them based on individual improvement. Each lesson, I will give students skills to practice for the next lesson. Once a student has mastered a skill, I'll teach them what's next. I ask my students to practice consistently in order to improve. If a student practices but isn't able to master a new skill in a week, that is completely okay and normal. In music, everyone has skills that come more easily to them or that are more difficult for them. This is the advantage of individual lessons, each student get's to move at their own pace! For parents, if you have a student who needs accountability and would like to receive assessments from me on their progress (if they are practicing, etc.), please let me know and I am happy to do so! I can't force students to practice, but I'm happy to establish good communication with parents to help my students succeed.

🎸 I help my students go beyond learning songs, by using music theory, correct technique, and practical application to take my students’ playing to the next level.  I help my students create good habits now for continues success in the future.

🎸 I'm passionate about investing in young musicians.

❗️Please message me if you don't see a lesson time that works for you! I may have other availability that isn't listed. 
❗️Please do not sign up for my class if your child does not want to learn or receive constructive feedback to improve their playing. Disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated in my classroom. 

⭐️ Note about enrollment!!
I kindly ask that parents pick a class time 24h in advance when enrolling with me for the first time. I'm not always at my computer refreshing my feed, and this helps to make sure I don't miss a last minute enrollment. If you prefer a different lesson time, but have an excited learner who wants to enroll the next day, we can absolutely make a schedule change later on.

What you'll receive
🤘🏻35 minute weekly, personalized guitar lessons
🤘🏻Lesson materials posted to the classroom feed after every lesson (chord charts, music notation, recordings, etc).
🤘🏻The option to message me whenever with questions during the week. Making sure my students understand the material is very important to me!

Class expectations
⭐️Come to every class with your guitar tuned (see 'materials' section)
⭐️Fingernails need to be cut short enough to press down on the strings with the fingertips- no exceptions
⭐️Come to class with a positive attitude, ready to learn
⭐️Practice weekly and to see improvement. Each student's success depends on what they are willing to put in. 
Excited to see you in class! Feel free to message me with any questions.

Please turn on 'original sound for musicians' under Zoom audio settings before the first class. This helps me be able to hear the guitars and give your student the best possible lesson experience.

Refund Policy
- Full refunds are offered for 24h notice that a student cannot attend class. 
- Refunds are not offered for missed classes without 24h notice.
- Reschedules can be accommodated with 24h notice.
Learning Goals
I ask students to practice each week for a minimum of 1 hour a day for five days a week.  The goal is to practice the skills we work on in each lesson to keep improving!
