Coach Mark

If you have a guitar and a pick, definitely bring it. If I am teaching scales and chords, you may want to film it on your phone so you don’t have to try to remember everything.
What do coaches say about teaching kids and youth?
Coach Mark

Just try to keep them engaged, have fun, and be encouraging.
Coach Marlin

With children, it’s important to provide inspiration and work according to their learning styles. Some kids learn visually by observing, others learn through asking questions and curiosity. The overlap between different learning styles is a need for patience as well as discipline. Children tend to have short attention spans, but when properly motivated they can stay on task for 30 minutes easily. Rather than boring them with scales and music theory it’s important to show them songs they think are cool. This is the ultimate motivator.
