Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I have been a guitar instructor for over 20 years and have managed two music studios, produced music CDs, and compiled my own work and compositions. The quotes on this page are not accurate so please call. Each quote is charged to the instructor. Lessons are typically 30 minutes each per week, lessons are $25 but some students like to do bi weekly lessons for one hour. You can email me at priscillavail at comcast.net but phone is preferable as I receive a lot of emails. I have a passion for music of every genre and have played in numerous musical groups and performances, but teaching guitar is really my first love with music. I have worked with students of all ages and avoid a narrow pedagogical approach because I believe wholeheartedly that a student both has the ability to learn anything they wish to play, and that the only way for them to be successful is to find their learning style and adapt to it. I have been very successful in bringing people and some very nice guitars together, and I look forward to working with you. Please note that my studio in in South Salem. My schedule is always full with a few options of times to accommodate new students. I am a professional and I do not travel to students. Thanks!

I highly recommend Priscilla as a guitar teacher. She makes taking lessons interesting and fun. You will learn so much and move along just at your speed. My sons guitars are his best friends and he still enjoys his love of playing all the different styles Priscilla taught him. Totally five stars...

I have been taking guitar lessons from Priscilla for about 1 1/2 years and could not be more pleased. She is a wonderful teacher and an extremely knowledgeable and talented musician. Her lesson plans are designed to be motivating and enjoyable for me while also moving me steadily forward in becoming a better musician. I love her enthusiasm! I believe she truly enjoys teaching.

FAQs

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    Yes, Constantly I do continuing education in my field of music in every single genre and types of guitar and music theory. This is a necessary step for every good educator! I am constantly challenging myself with understanding a higher level of music interpretation and music theory. Achieving a higher level of understanding is essential to good teaching, but it is also necessary to meditate on that information to translate it better to students and remove the intimidation factor of music theory!

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I teach guitar methods and skills by perceiving the best way for them to learn. I also find the types of music that they are interested in and have a large archive of music, both of the classical guitar and other types of genres. My students leave with determination and enthusiasm and I love it!

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    I would encourage students to interview an instructor and find his musical background. Too many "guitar teachers" cannot even read music or know that much about theory. It is really shameful that someone can learn to play the guitar and simply hang out a shingle without any professional training and musical experience.
