Introduction: My name is Garret Schmittling, and I am an independent performer and teacher. I have been teaching since 2005 and have had the pleasure of working with a wide range of students, from young to old, from beginner to advanced and everything in between. I have worked with a multitude of artists, in a wide variety of genres and have played numerous events.
I teach via Skype and personalize each lesson for you. On my website I have a page that's dedicated to FAQ's for Live Lessons and also a calendar for time slots and rescheduling. After each lesson, I send you a detailed e-mail summary and a video summary of what we went over in the lesson that is private for you to keep. Nervous about Skype? Our first meeting is a no-strings attached FREE 15 minute introduction. We can talk music, goals and make sure your comfortable with me as a teacher. After we can discuss weekly or bi-weekly lessons!
I have a number of free lessons constantly added to my site, but nothing replaces a one on one learning environment. These, just like all the wealth of information on YouTube, can aid ones playing, if there's a direction. Without that sense of direction, it seems pretty overwhelming! I have a wealth of examples of me teaching and tons of free resources that I will be utilizing throughout our lessons as well. Feel free to check it out!
