Kalani W.

Hi, my name is Kalani and I am a guitar instructor from Atlanta, Ga. I have been a student of music for five years. My musical influences include pop, R&B, and modern guitar-driven music, and I also enjoy learning new styles and techniques on guitar. My teaching style can best be described as patient, encouraging, and structured. My teaching philosophy can best be described by saying that I believe strong fundamentals and confidence are the key to long-term success in music. In my lessons, you can expect to learn basic technique, chords, rhythm, reading simple music, and how to practice effectively. I like to tell my students that progress comes from consistency and not giving up when things feel difficult. My favorite thing about teaching is seeing students gain confidence and realize they can play more than they thought they could. My favorite performance was playing my dad’s favorite song on guitar for his birthday and seeing my hard work pay off in a live setting. My students love that I explain things clearly and make learning guitar feel approachable. I primarily teach beginner guitar, but I can also teach basic music theory and foundational skills for other stringed instruments. My approach as a teacher is to meet students where they are and help them grow step by step at a pace that keeps them motivated. Thanks for taking a look at my profile. Hope to meet you soon!
