 I've been teaching guitar and bass full time in Exeter, NH for five years. I teach six days a week (Monday-Saturday). All ages and abilities are welcome. I am interested in all styles of music. I cover different techniques and I explain why music is arranged the way it is. I teach my students music THEY are interested in, allowing for a fun learning experience.
With younger students I focus more on creativity and songwriting. Students ages 6-9 can be discouraged by the difficulty of playing the instrument. Doing technique drills and forcing the reading of standard notation on younger students can make the student lose interest in music. We use a guitar, keyboard, drums, and the bass to create original compositions and recordings.
With pre-teen and teenage students, I focus more on the proper methods and techniques. I also explain why certain notes sound best together (music theory). I have over 500 popular songs on file. I teach these arrangements to my students. Their interest is maintained, because I teach them the songs they like. If they have the desire to read standard notation or learn about in depth jazz concepts, I can present those ideas to them.

Adult students have a variety of musical goals. Some want to simply learn a few songs. Some want to brush up on their playing. Others want to play on a professional level, and use my instruction as a supplement to college. Many adults don't have a lot of free time. I take that into consideration when I provide them with lessons.
 I studied jazz theory with a private instructor (Joe D'Angelo) in Worcester, MA for three years. I moved to Colorado in 1990 and studied music at the University of Colorado in Boulder. I graduated with a BA in 1995. I have performed on a professional level in Colorado, California, Hawaii, and New England. I have written, recorded, and produced three LP's. My performance website is www.nilscrusberg.altpro.net
I teach in downtown Exeter, NH at Exeter Music. I work Monday-Saturday. Most lessons are scheduled between 2:00-7:00pm. Saturday lessons run all day 9:00am-5:00pm. Rock, Blues, and Jazz are my strongest fields, but I am well versed with most other styles. I have studied Classical, Bluegrass, Funk, Afro-Pop, Reggae, Latin, even Native American and Cajun. I have lesson plans outlining the music business, music law, career guidance, classical four-part harmony (SABT), acoustical physics, guitar repair, guitar effects act. Exeter Music provides the public with lessons for a variety of instruments. Guitar, Bass, Piano, Drums, Saxophone, ect. If you are interested in any other instrument, or if I cannot provide you with the service you are looking for, I can refer you to a different teacher.
