Teaching Philosophy:
Whether they realize it or not, almost every “beginner” has an unspoken,
two-part question: “WILL I be able to do this”, and “How long will it take me to
feel like I’m playing music”. While I can’t predict specifics, there certainly are
trends—I try to get most students playing familiar melodies, or at least parts of
songs during their first or second lesson. The reason most of us start any new
hobby is NOT to add more stress/work/guilt to our lives, but to have FUN! Any
degree of further, deeper learning has to be built on a basis of enjoyment and
genuine interest. I spend the first few lessons making it fun and giving students
a better understanding of what it means to “play guitar”. The most difficult part
is getting started!
