My guitar lessons are designed to be practical, inspiring, and tailored to each student’s unique goals. I begin every course with a brief conversation about your musical background, the styles you enjoy, and what you hope to achieve whether that’s strumming your first chords, mastering advanced techniques, or writing your own music.
Lessons typically combine technique, ear training, rhythm development, and music theory with creative exercises that keep learning engaging. For beginners, I emphasize clear explanations, step-by-step progress, and fun repertoire. For intermediate and advanced players, we explore phrasing, improvisation, stylistic nuances, and recording skills when relevant.
I also integrate optional mindfulness and breathing techniques from my yoga background to improve focus, reduce tension, and make practice more enjoyable. Students often find this holistic approach helps them progress faster and play with more confidence.
Each lesson is carefully structured to help you progress step by step while keeping the experience enjoyable and engaging. We begin with a warm-up that focuses on technique, simple but effective finger exercises, scale patterns, or picking drills that build strength, agility, and confidence on the fretboard. This opening routine prepares your hands and mind for deeper work while reducing tension and the risk of strain.
From there, we move into repertoire and song study. You’ll learn pieces you genuinely enjoy, applying music theory and technique in a way that feels practical and musical. Working on real songs ensures that every new chord shape or rhythm pattern has immediate context, making progress more motivating and meaningful.
As lessons develop, we dedicate time to core musicianship skills. Ear training, rhythmic accuracy, chord knowledge, and stylistic awareness all strengthen your ability to play with others and express yourself more freely. Whether you dream of playing in a band or just want to jam with friends, these foundations are essential.
We also leave space for creative exploration. Improvisation exercises, songwriting guidance, and even basic recording techniques are available if you’re interested, helping you find your own voice as a guitarist.
