Beginner to Advanced
Are you thinking of getting guitar lessons for you or someone else? My studio is located in downtown Ephrata, and my specialty is teaching beginner to advanced guitar to children and adults. I am confident that with a decent instrument and some effort, we can turn you into the guitarist you would like to become.
- Chords and chord progression
- Scales; and their relationship to chords
- Proper finger placement
- Music theory
Each student is unique and has different needs or expectations from lessons. I cater to the individual, whether it is the complete beginner who knows nothing of the guitar, or someone who has learned the basics and wants to develop a better understanding of the guitar. I can also help the advanced guitarist have a better understanding of music theory and how it can be applied to the guitar.
Many of the students who come to me want to play the guitar for some of the following reasons:
- Church group
- Learn a favorite song
- Accompany their voice
- Learn music theory
- Read sheet music
- Read tablature
- Learn to finger pick
- Join a band
Some of the tools I use in my studio to help the student are:
- Videos so student can evaluate their performance
- Music tracks to play along with to help develop timing
- Recording equipment to record and listen to compositions
I use all of these tools and techniques along with my years of experience to help the student grow as a musician and gain the confidence to perform and be proud of their musical abilities. All of this together is what I feel to be the most valuable guitar instruction possible.
