What students need:
> At least one guitar of appropriate size and design that is setup well (i.e. easy to play and well-intonated/musically calibrated) or the willingness to acquire one (I can help–more on this at the bottom of this section).
> An hour or more of daily practice (necessary) free from all distractions as focus is required for musical development.
Classes for children:
Most children above the age of 6 are ready to learn to play guitar.
Since playing a musical instrument requires fine motor control and a good sense of rhythm and pitch, parents must be patient with their child's progress which will most likely be slow at first.
Learning most definitely accelerates when children enter their teens as this is when their minds and bodies are developed enough to play a musical instrument well.
Parents that work with me are advised to drive their children to keep up with regular practice. Parents are most welcome to join in on lessons as observers, and I will provide adequate insight to help them continue to coach their children between weekly lessons. Do not fret–music isn't complicated and most parents would be able to understand the finer details even without having any experience playing the instrument themselves.
Where children have adequate knowledge of the basics they are encouraged to take music certificate courses for which I provide tutoring as well.
Classes for adults:
Contrary to popular belief, the best time to learn a musical instrument, from a developmental point of view, is during adulthood.
Most adults possess mature motor control, and a heightened sense of rhythm and pitch, thereby positioning them to learn as quickly and efficiently as possible, given regular practice, which is necessary regardless of age.
Looking to buy a guitar?
I accompany students to music instrument stores across the city to help them find the right instrument. If the instrument requires further adjustment to make it more playable (i.e. comfortable to play and musically well-calibrated) I can assist with this as well by reaching out to guitar technicians on behalf of students.
Are you looking for electric guitar lessons? I teach all styles from blues and rock to various sub genres of metal.
Happy learning!
