Beginner training plan
Your first lessonThe first lesson will be focused on introducing basics like identifying parts of the guitar, basics of how to read music for guitar as well as how to hold the guitar and pick. We will hopefully introduce basics like playing simple 1-2 finger chords to get us running.
Lesson 2-3These lessons will typically enforce the topics introduced during the first lesson and gradually expand to also include timing, rhythm and basic chord changes.
Lesson 4-10These lessons will take earlier topics and start to use them to be able to read and play music from sheet music, or learn to play chords along with some simpler songs. The specific direction taken will depend on the student’s goals
Lesson 11+Remaining lessons will help us further fine tune and focus our efforts towards getting us closer to our specific goals. Above all else, we will try to keep all lessons fun and exciting by introducing more advanced techniques using music students enjoy listening to. By this point, we will hopefully have solid enough fundamentals to go in any direction that we want to go!

Working with kidsLessons for kids are adapted to allow for streamlined but effective goals. I understand that kids can have other school and after school related commitments that may make it harder for extended practice time and devotion.
With this in mind, I accommodate by keeping the lessons fun, and direct with more specific goals and objectives in mind.
