The #1 focus: You
Nothing is more important to me than my students success. It starts by having fun.
- I want students to be comfortable and enjoy playing the guitar.
- I want students to enjoy practicing while learning different aspects about the guitar such as how to practice properly, music theory, rhythm and etc..
- I want students to learn some of their favorite songs so they can enjoy playing the guitar
The #2 focus: Lesson Structure
Great lesson structure makes it easier for my students to accelerate their progress. Over the years I have developed and refined key exercises that help the student(s) get excellent results in a short amount of time if they follow my system. If students follow and practice regularly with my well-organized lesson system, they will succeed!
The #3 focus: Constant improvement and growth
I am always learning and improving my teaching techniques by frequently taking lessons from music mentors all over the world and integrating their coaching styles into my system. I always strive to be better. To better educate myself, to better educate my students, to offer better lessons, to provide better support, and most importantly: To make your life better with the gift of enjoying and playing music!
I don’t want to be “just another guitar teacher”. I am constantly growing and improving myself, my lesson structure, my business, and I always will.
If you think you can tell me how I can be even better, don’t hesitate and send me your ideas.
