What to expect in my Guitar Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

Bring a notebook and something to write with. First, we will figure out where you are at as a musician and what you want to learn. I might have some questions or ideas about what other direction might be even better for you. In the end it is really up to you to decide. We will come up with a short term goal and a long term goal for the number of lessons you have signed up for. Then we'll start working on whatever that turns out to be: music theory, scales, chords, songs, styles, etc. I will write important information in your notebook and provide you with hand out sheets so you can see how to play particular chords, scales, or chord progressions. There may also be one or more hand out sheets about music theory. Then we're off and running on reaching your musical goals.
