FAQ

What kind of instructional material do you use?: I use and recommend the Fast Track series (see some online reviews). However, I will customize lessons and materials as needed to suit each student.
What is a good age to start Guitar lessons?: Everyone is different, but I generally recommend starting at 8 years or older.
Do you teach adults?: Yes! Whether you are 8 or 88, Guitar is great fun and very good therapy, both physically and emotionally.
Is it best to start on acoustic or electric guitar?: I recommend starting on the acoustic, as it develops stronger hands and fingers. Moving to the electric guitar later (if desired) is easier as a result. However, I'm happy to teach beginners on the electric if that's their strong preference.
Also, if you're under the age of 10, I recommend starting with a three-quarter size guitar.
Do I need to learn to read music?: I feel it is good to be able to read basic notes or tablature, so you get to know how and where they are played on the guitar. However I do have a program designed for just learning to strum and play chords.
How do I pay for lessons?: Students pay monthly (at the beginning of each month) by e-transfer, cash, or cheque. I offer weekly 30 minute lessons at $30 per session– note that some months will have 5 sessions.
