A Guitar Coach is a mentor, teacher, encourager.
YOU can learn to play & it will transform you.
Why a “coach” instead of an “instructor”?
Simply put - coaching is my style of teaching. I'm not going to give you a step-by-step way of playing guitar. In reality, it doesn't work that way. Somethings will come natural to you, others will take you more time and work. I want you to love playing guitar just as much as I do, so I don't want you to get frustrated or stuck in one place. My mantra for myself is "I want to play better tomorrow than I do today." (It's a mantra that works if you are having a great day with practice or an off day!) We will work from your strengths and build from there. Every student will have a customized plan. Every student is an individual, with different levels and goals for wanting to play. We will answer the "whys" as we move through learning songs, scales, and techniques.
I know from years of playing guitar, leading music and working with other musicians, that the coaching style of teaching works. My approach is this -
I focus on what you want to know and what you already know, then I tailor each session to meet your needs. You talk, play for me what you already know, we talk about genre (what you love and why), then we make a plan, and we work! OR we start from the very beginning! We learn songs first, why else would people want to play guitar!?!? Then we will build on that knowledge, slowly adding theory. You will be amazed at how it all comes together. The real learning comes after our sessions together, when you take your new skills home to practice!
I believe we all have our own rhythm.
I'd love to work with you in my studio or from Skype! Click below for Coaching Options, and if you think we'd make a good match, contact me and let's get started!
Joyfully,
Christy

- a heart that beats inside of us
- a walk that is our own stride
