Guitar Lessons with Greg

Introduction: Introduction My name is Greg. I am easy going and enthusiastic about sharing guitar knowledge with people eager to learn. I like to help people (especially those brand-new to the guitar) pick the right instrument, find what they enjoy about playing and guide them to any additional resources they might need as their playing progresses. My Teaching Background I have been playing the guitar for 15 years. I have been performing in bands for 10 years. I have played gigs in NYC, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. I have been teaching for five years. I have also taught a high school communications class, which has helped me refine my teaching style. My Teaching Philosophy I like to be well-rounded in what my students learn but also like to make sure that they are picking up music theory. I believe it is important that my students understand how to read music and how chords and notes go together. In order to keep students interested in what they are playing, I also teach them songs of their choosing. I generally use Berklee School of Music's Modern Method for Guitar to teach from. It is very thorough and gives a terrific array of playing techniques that will translate into whatever style the student is interested in learning. Rates And Availability My rates are $15 for a half hour and $25 for an hour Lessons are at my studio; however, I am willing to travel to the student. Additional travel rates will be applied depending on distance and range from an additional $5 - $10.
