Kids Guitar Lessons

My Experience as a Teacher

I have been teaching the guitar now for just over the last 10 years and I am very passionate about what I do. I have worked with students of all ages from 5 to 75 but and do offer lessons to all students, however I mostly teach young beginners. Over the years I have taught in three separate music schools as well as having private students for many years.

Throughout my years of experience I believe I have come up with a way to develop the early stages of learning guitar into a streamlined and fun process. I take a practical approach when teaching guitar and encourage my students to advance by learning their favorite songs. I will always break down the behind the scenes of the songs we are learning and explain what's going on instead of weighing them down with music theory early on.

This approach seems to work particularly well with children in my experience. I believe this is a good way to achieve the right balance of education and fun. The lessons provided can cater for all types of guitar whether that be Acoustic, Electric or the Bass guitar I am happy to teach all of these instruments from beginner up to an intermediate level.

More About My Lessons

There are many benefits to teaching music to younger students and there are many studies which show how important it can be for young learners to study music. One of the things it can do is to help children expand their vocabulary and auditory skills. Music directly affects the childs ability to learn new words and helps them to process the many new sounds they hear.

It has also been proven that when young learners take music lessons it can help them to improve and enhance their memory. In one study musicians out performed non musicians in auditory/visual and memory tests. At the very core of taking music lessons, children are required to have solid hand-eye coordination and practicing on their instrument can drastically help them improve this.

Playing guitar from a young age can help improve the motor skills and development in children. Playing music involves overcoming many different problems and figuring out ways to solve them. As such a childs ability to do this improves the more that they play their instrument. There really is so many benefits to learning music from a young age and I take great pride in offering these skills to my students.
