In these private lessons the student will learn new skills to help them grow in their guitar playing.

Every student will have lessons tailored to her or his individual skill level and interests.

Topics may include:

- beginner basics - reading music - playing scales - music theory - right hand techniques - open tunings - songwriting

Typically, class is structured with hand and finger warm-ups and exercises first, followed by work on chords and right-hand techniques (such as strumming patterns and/or fingerpicking theory and techniques), followed by learning how to apply all of those practiced techniques to learn to play a song.

Students are encouraged to think of a song that they would like to learn! Owning a guitar is required, either acoustic or electric. Owning a tuner or downloading a tuning app is strongly recommended.
