Notes
The guitar will remain timeless in its ability to endure the changing face of music with its versatility as a performing instrument and composing tool.
As much time spent in the lesson will go into evaluating the student's progress thereby tailoring future sessions to stay sensitive and guide the student toward his/her musical leanings.
Parts of sessions will be video/audio recorded with the student's permission to help in evaluation.
Group lessons will enable concepts of harmony, rhythm and arrangement to become more apparent.
I am open to switch a student between group and individual lessons as time permits.
