CURRICULUM
Music reading and efficient finger-oriented classic guitar technique are emphasized. Books and materials are chosen to suit the background and needs of each student. Some of the books used may be viewed on the Book List page of my web site, www.iteachGuitar.com.
LESSON FORMAT
All lessons are one hour, scheduled once per week. Young students through high school age may elect a 45 minute lesson, if desired. I do not offer half-hour lessons, because experience has shown progress to be greater, concentration improved, in the longer lesson time. Continuity, repetition and reinforcement are the essence of progress.
LESSON PRICE
Fees will be quoted upon request. A substantial discount is offered when 10 lessons are paid in advance.
