Guitar Coaching

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.
  • a heart that beats inside of us
  • a walk that is our own stride
And rhythm cannot be overstated in playing guitar. I see my job as helping you find your unique rhythm and style as a guitarist, and songwriter as you move beyond the basics.  We will create a path to get you there.  And in learning new skills on guitar, you'll also see how those skills sometimes great life skills that you can apply to other areas you may feel stuck in!  You may find that playing guitar gives you a new self care tool - playing an instrument has amazing benefits of reducing feelings of depression and anxiety .  Or maybe you will find a love for songwriting as you discover your voice in a way you never knew was there!  Together we will make a plan that won't overwhelm you, but one where you are eager to learn something new or grow with skills you may already have.  

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,

Private Sessions   $28 (half hour sessions)  or  $53 (one Hour sessions - weekly or bi-monthly)
All sessions will be tailored to meet the specific goals each client has in mind.  You will need a playable guitar, tuner, pick, and capo - bring with you an 8 to 10 song list or music preferences.  I want you to love guitar as much as I do, so I need you to commit to personal practice time 15-20 minute 4 to 5 times a week.  I encourage, especially beginners, to give private lessons a 3 month commitment.  
​
(available in-studio or FaceTime/Zoom)

Try BEFORE you Buy $45- 45 minutes  
Curious about playing guitar?  This is a perfect way to discover if the guitar is your instrument! Learn the basics with my guitars on site -various body styles and ranging from beginner models to advanced (and why there is a difference!) 

Group Sessions Contact for pricing
For some folks taking a private lesson can be intimidating.  Bring a buddy! (Siblings, Parent/Child, Friends) This can offer a fun interactive introduction to guitar.  


Songwriter’s Session $85 per month
So, you already know how to play an instrument (guitar, ukulele - even mandolin or banjo), but now you are ready to go beyond covering songs to writing your own?  There is a place for you here!  Songwriting is one of my loves and I'd love to work with you from teaching you the basics to collaborating. Sessions are usually 2 one-hour sessions a month. ​
