The guitar faculty approach teaching as an individualized activity.  Lessons are designed with each student’s interests and needs in mind.  Believing that a student will learn best with music that he or she knows and loves, the guitar faculty tailor the lessons to each student’s tastes while addressing the important technical, theoretical, and musical requirements for each style of music.  Age ranges are from 8 to senior citizens.  We teach in many different styles including Classical, Folk, Blues, Rock, and Jazz.  Electric guitars as well as acoustic instruments are taught.  We accept beginning bass students who are looking for ensemble-oriented lessons as well as insights into bass techniques and theory.

For younger students (8 years and younger), we are able to accommodate their physical limitations with such starter instruments as baritone ukuleles and half-size guitars, often lending the instrument for a time until the student is ready to move ahead to his or her larger instrument.  Our faculty structure lessons based on the cognitive and physical talents of each student as well as musical tastes, making lessons educational and interesting as well as enjoyable.
