A beginning student will learn how to form a few basic chords; basic picking and strumming technique; rest stroke technique; learn how to read basic tablature and start on learning regular music notation; posture and positioning; will also be able to learn a couple basic exercises and songs. More advanced and intermediate students will begin their first lesson with me based on my observation of their playing; student's goals and interests etc.

review from Tonia Ditzler

At first I was a little nervous because it seemed like a big corporation type and I was afraid we'd get lost in the shuffle and not a personal experience. They are well organized and give very personal care and consideration. Very happy with the teacher we are with. We were able to read a number of information pages on several teacher and picked the one that best suited my son that was very helpful. My son is very happy with his choice.
