Payment
Policies
Full
payments are due at the begining of the month on your day
for the entire month.
- Payment
will be to reserve a timeslot only and is not a guarantee
for a lesson at any other time.
- Therefore,
no make up lessons will be given for lessons missed on your
part. Rescheduling to another time is not an option.
- If
I cancel a lesson on my part, I will make arrangements with
you to reschedule your lesson.
- If
the public schools are off, there will be no lesson.
- If
there is more than one holiday in one month opn your day,
we will only take one holiday off. (ex: Monday's in February)
- I
reserve the right to cancel up to two lessons a year without
the expectation that your lesson will be made up. (Usually
just once during the summer.)
Curriculum
My
goal in teaching guitar is to get the student playing full chords
as soon as possible. After the first lesson, a student has the
building blocks to play an actual song. I stay away from the
tedious note reading because it usually discourages the student.
I teach chord theory and music theory. I want you to learn music
so you have the tools to know how to make up your own chords
that you don't know.Sound odd? Give it a try.
I
teach very simple rhythm patterns that can fit just about any
song that the student wants to play. Again, my goal is for you
to be able to play the songs you love and are listening to on
your ipod.
If
the student would like to study lead guitar, I begin by teaching
pentatonic scales, and then move toward major and then minor
scales. Once the student is comfortable with this, we begin
studying all the individual modes. Then, once a student masters
the modes, I will take lessons from you.
Styles
In
regard to styles, I am best at rock, country, and folk. I can
also teach begining classical, and beginning jazz. I am good
at teaching lead guitar and you will see progress in a short
amount of time.
If
you are a church attender, I specialize in worship leading songs
and techniques to teach you how to be a good worship leader.
I can also teach you how to work with a worship band and rehearsals.
