Greg's Music

GREG'S TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

I have been playing guitar for over 30 years and have enjoyed teaching
both children and adults for over 15 years. My specialties are rock, blues,
finger style, two-handed tapping, and slide guitar. My goal is to introduce
the student to a variety of music and musical styles so they can discover
what they truly enjoy playing.

It is my belief that each student is unique and has different wants and
needs, so I cater the lessons to suit the individual student and allow them
to progress at their own pace. I incorporates theory and technique into
every lesson with a special accent on technique. My philosophy is that
"Good technique is the key to playing any style of music."

I understand how excited new students are about learning to play. As a
tool to enable the student to begin playing songs within the first month
of lessons, I use tablature; a six-line staff that geographically represents
the guitar finger board. As students are motivated to continue on and
learn how to read and understand music, they will develop the skills
necessary to work out and create new music on their own, which is the
ultimate goal in lessons.
