- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
All lessons are approached with the student in mind. Each student learns at his or her own pace and understanding. Lessons will include, but not be limited to the following: * Building your chord vocabulary. * Learning practicing techniques. * Learning how to play your favorite songs. * Learning how to write your own songs. * Basic understanding of music theory applied to the guitar or bass guitar. * Improvisation and creative approach to learning scales and melodies. * Tuning and maintenance of your guitar, including how to change your strings. * Jam-alongs with the student. Applying what you've learned to a real jam session between you and your instructor. * Styles and genres I instruct include: Blues, Rock, Country and Jazz. Accepting students ages 13 years and older. All lessons are done in your home. Only select areas of Central Florida will be scheduled. Some locations may require a higher rate per hour depending on location.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a private guitar and bass guitar instructor since 1996. My work includes 27+ years of teaching in the Orlando and Central Florida area. I have been an instrumentalist and working musician since 1976. My first formal training began in 1976 with local Racine, Wisconsin teacher, Tony Collova. I continued music training at Walden III High School under the direction of Al Clausen. I began teaching private instruction in 1996 at the Thoroughbred Music Store (now Sam Ash) on Lee Road in Orlando, Florida. I continued scheduling private in-home lessons all over Central Florida including other music stores and studios in Florida. I take my experiences as a musician and bring it to every lesson, to help each student learn and understand the importance of practice and commitment. Having instructed well over 1500 students, I have the knowledge and experience to teach lessons to beginner and intermediate students alike.
