Beginner training plan
Your first lessonGetting to know you! I always try to start by letting you know what to expect from me and talk about how I can accommodate my lessons for you. We will talk basics of the guitar like holding it, string notes, and holding a pick. Mainly just sticking with open strings otherwise moving onto basic fretting.
Lesson 11+The student already has exercises and songs to work on alone. Learning notes may still be apart of the process during lessons but begin to focus more on guiding the student on guitar technique. Focusing on tone, rhythm, finger positions, and other basic guitar technical skills. We begin to refine the playing to move onto other music and increase the difficulty.
Lesson 4-10At this point chords are a good place to be implemented, reading chord charts and learning to play strumming patterns. This part of the lesson will focus on getting the student to play the song they choose while working on along with other exercises in the lesson if any. Alongside choosing a song they will also learn some basic theory that is relevant to playing guitar and reading guitar tab. Individual practice always helps but in this part of the lesson they may still be practicing it during lessons.
Lesson 2-3These lessons will spend more time on learning how to navigate the guitar, how to produce a good sound and where to find notes. Simple melodies or riffs would be the main focus. Learning these melodies would also include the introduction of guitar tab.
Youth players
Working with kidsWhen I teach younger students, I focus on making music fun, engaging, and approachable. I use games, songs, and interactive activities to help build foundational skills like rhythm, finger coordination, and ear training. My goal is to nurture curiosity and creativity so kids associate guitar with joy and self-expression. I also adjust my pace and approach to each child’s unique learning style and attention span, making sure they feel confident and supported every step of the way.
