Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I specialize in acoustic guitar lessons for adults and youth, including all traditional styles of acoustic (blues, folk, rock, etc) as well as vocal accompaniment. I customize my lesson plan to each students goals and musical taste.
I teach from a proficiency perspective. I would rather see a student play something easy and do it well than attempt things that are too far beyond their skill level. I like to see progress that builds confidence and I aim at that at all time.

I have been a student of Dirk’s since October 2014. I am a 50+ year old man with no prior experience playing guitar prior to taking lessons with Dirk. I explained to Dirk that I work at a CPA firm and I would not be able to take lessons during tax season. I also explained that it would be to my benefit if we could schedule lessons every other week. He was ok with that.
Dirk is a patient instructor. He realizes that we all have busy lives and may not have a chance to practice as much as we like. Lessons last an hour or more. You play a little, he makes recommendations, practice the new techniques and hopefully increase your skill set. Dirk provides books and sheets of music that increase in complexity as you master techniques. You can also bring your own material.
The most important thing that I have learned from Dirk is to enjoy playing guitar. You are not graded, you are not compared to other students, he does not give any negative criticism. Hopefully, you will want to practice, improve your technique, and enjoy playing your guitar.

Dirk Johnson has a knack for teaching and his interest in numerous styles of music including blues, classic rock, bluegrass and others shows through in his lessons. Dirk makes learning new music fun and presents new techniques in a manner that is easy to understand. Give NOVA Guitar Lessons a try!
