Join me for an approach to learning guitar that is easy and fun for children!   I accept children who are brand new to guitar, as well as those who have already had guitar experience. I've had lots of success teaching children and have even published five highly rated children's guitar books which students will receive in PDF format during lessons.  In addition I provide custom practice tracks which bring young children up to a performance level in no time!

For beginners, the first four lessons will generally be structured as follows:

Week 1: Introduction to Guitar
-Holding the Guitar/Posture
-Holding the Guitar Pick
-Identifying Strings and Frets
-Playing the first Notes
-Learning First Position Fingering

Week 2: Learning Guitar Tablature
-Review Week 1 Concepts
-Learning Guitar Tablature/Guitar Tablature Exercises
-Learning the First Song: "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"

Week 3: Reinforce Concepts 
-Review Week 2 Concepts
-Reinforce First Position Fingering, Playing Technique and Guitar Tablature
-Learning a New Song: "Happy Birthday"

Week 4: Chords and Counting
-Review Week 3 Concepts
-Learning the G, G7 and C chords
-Learning to Count Beats
-Learning a New Song: "Star Wars"

All students receive high quality, illustrated learning materials that make it easy to practice independently.  I'm also happy to correspond with parents upon request and provide support to ensure success.  My goal is to motivate students to practice, look forward to lessons, and reach their full musical potential!
