About Lou
My teaching approach:
I bring a high level of enthusiasm, and expertise to my lesson studio. I treat each student as an individual, and I prepare individual lesson plans for students that are engaging, and focus on keeping them excited about playing guitar. While, I have my favorite texts, and songs. I don't have a regimented approach to my lessons, and except for the first few lessons, everyone's lessons are different. It's my goal to draw students in, and share my love of guitar. I want people to be excited about learning, and playing music. I have a Performance Degree in Classical Guitar. I have been teaching for 17 years. I have managed teaching programs, taught at Universities, worked as a clinician for major guitar manufactures, played in touring bands, worked in recording studios both as an Engineer and a Studio Musician. I have a great passion for playing, and teaching guitar, and I bring a high level of commitment and expertise to my teaching studio.
My guitar lessons take place in:
The teacher's studio
Guitar lessons typically take place on these days and hours:
I have flexible studio times on Mon, Wed, Thur.
Guitar Techniques:
Lead guitar, Rhythm guitar, Open tuning, Fingerstyle, Slide Guitar, Vocal Accompaniment, Performance, Improvisation, Jamming Skills, Reading Music, Music Theory, Scales and Exercises, Song Writing, Recording and Production, Guidance In Equipment Selection
Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following:
I ask students about experience playing other instruments. How long they ave played. I might ask a few questions about Musical Forms, Harmonic Rhythm, Scales, Triads to get a sense of their understanding of basic music theory. I will ask about blues improvisation, various methods of speed picking (Sweep, Economy, Alternate.) Classical/Fingerstyle players we talk about rest-stroke, free-stroke, etc.. Than we talk about left hand position, and examine independence, strength, and flexibility while playing something easy. Finally we wrap up with review Guitar Tab/music notation, Ear training.
A guitar lesson with me might entail the following:
I like to start at the beginning, Helping students to understand the how to hold the instrument, and work on developing good left & right hand techniques. Many aspects of playing guitar successfully are "technique Driven," If a person doesn't understand what they are trying to accomplish with their technique, this can be elusive, and make playing difficult. I bring in lesson plans, but I encourage the student to ask questions, and help them solve problems that arise. Problems might be physical, or trying to figure out a song by ear. I use this to segue to music theory.
The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following:
A person with a love of music who is motivated to learn guitar while having fun!
