Introduction: Learning the fundamentals of playing guitar and developing the ability to read standard notation will benefit children tremendously, whether they are interested in bluegrass, traditional, country, blues, jazz, rock, classical or any other style of music. My students will gain a strong background in essential areas and have fun! I have been playing guitar since 2006 and mandolin since 1996, studying with a master musician. My rates are low as I am just starting out teaching.
