Students come to the studio with many different interests and abilities. With this in mind, every student will follow a personalized course of study. All beginner students will start by working on technique and the reading of standard music notation. By studying written music, students learn at a pace which also allows for the development of solid technique in both hands before attempting more challenging music. Reading music also forms a basis for understanding musical composition and expression. Once these skills are established we broaden our work toward the student’s interests.
Intermediate and advanced students will follow an individual course of study which may include:
- Classical Guitar
- Popular styles of music (fingerstyle, blues, rock, country, jazz)
- Advanced music theory
- Songwriting/composition
- Advanced classical studies
The student may choose to combine different styles and focuses.
