It is a starting rate of $25 / 45 minute lesson. May be increased depending on travel distance.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We begin by establishing goals that the student would like to accomplish on the guitar. I have experience teaching beginner and advanced music lessons. For beginner lessons we focus on getting adjusted to the feel of the instrument and building finger coordination/strength. Within the first month the student is able to play familiar songs, scales, chords, and more (with proper practice). For advanced students we establish a starting point and proceed from there. I have taught advanced concepts such as music theory, ear training, songwriting, improvisation/soloing, jazz studies/guitar, music recording, and performance. I have a couple students that I've taught for 5+ years.
