Guitar Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Alpharetta, GA

My Approach To Teaching Guitar... At the early age of 14, I discovered that I had a “knack” for music when I had the opportunity for a friend to show me how to play a few basic chords on his guitar (because I didn’t own one myself). Although press- ing down on the strings hurt my fingertips, and my fingers kept slipping out of position, I fell in love with the guitar’s sound when it all finally came together... Eventually, my mother bought me my first guitar! After time continued to pass, I discovered that what was allowing me to get deeper involved with the guitar was that I was developing an “ear”or “feel” for music which simply means when I heard music, I was able to figure out how to play what I heard - the chord structure, the rhythm, the melody - all without reading music! Now, my plan is to help others discover if they have a “knack”, “ear” or “feel” for playing the guitar, just

My inspirations were, The Beatles,Beach Boys, Chet atkins, George Harrison, Clapton, jimmy page, B.B king, Moody blues, Wes Montgomery. And really many many more.

I was introduced to teaching as a guitar teacher and loved the field of education ever since. My first school experience was teaching 7th and 8th grade social studies in Queens, N.Y.in 1979. Finally, I found my niche in high school teaching various subjects such as Physical Science, Biology, Social Studies and tutoring after school programs for the passing of the high school graduation tests. In 1993 I moved to Georgia and became fully certified in the fields of Physical Science, Health and P.E.and ESOL. I successfully tutored high school students to pass the graduation tests with a >95% rate. My years of experience have taught me that no two students are alike, especially in the 'tutoring' arena. I find the students strengths and create a positive learning environment that students actually enjoy! My students tell me they can't believe how fast the time goes; and look forward to the nex

I am very creative in coming up with ways to teach information to students and get them interested in the material. I am patient and willing to go over things until I know my pupil can confidently complete the task assigned on his or her own. I believe that practice and repetition is key to understanding. I have built a knowledge base of tricks and tactics for success on standardized tests. My students generally like me a lot on a personal level, and as a result, they seem to work harder to complete their assignments. This is especially advantageous for high school age kids because I am close enough in age that I seem like a friend, but still old enough to be an authority figure. I am a senior at Princeton University with five years of tutoring experience. I will earn my degree in English in 2011, which has honed my writing, editing, and proofreading skills. I have very extensive exp

I first like to explain the tangible concept to students, citing real-world examples. Next, it is appropriate to transition to explaining the details of the concept/equation at hand. Finally, most importantly, I believe in extensive practice of multiple problems. It is especially helpful to show students how to solve problems in different ways which arrive at the same answer. This helps reinforce the concept and practice. Since my undergraduate years at Georgia Tech, I have been teaching college and high school physics to family members and friends. In 2009, I began teaching for two metro Atlanta tutoring firms. I specialize in high school and undergraduate physics, but I am qualified to teach algebra, trigonometry, geometry, and pre-calculus.

I find every student is different & so it is up to me to be able to acclimate to a style that works best for that particular student. Learning music is not easy for someone who has never played an instrument before, so I have to present the information in a way that it is not confusing or overwhelming for the student. Being patient & listening to students is the best approach I can take when teaching new concepts. But teaching goes beyond just being patient, I strive to be positive & I’m always encouraging my students. As a member of a musical family, I grew up w/ a profound passion for creating & understanding music. My first instrument of choice was playing the drums, I started playing when I was 12 years old. Taking lessons from the famed Wilco drummer, Glen Kotche & getting involved with the school Jazz program were highlights from my high school days. I went on to attend the U

I have been playing stringed instruments for 23 years. My main area of focus is the guitar, and I have toured the country playing in groups. I enjoy teaching and have done so for years privately. I currently have students via Skype and have been chosen to teach on the Cayamo singer/songwriter cruise in 2011 after a successful workshop series I had on this year's cruise that featured many of my heroes. My degree in Recording Arts came in handy when I lived in Nashville from 97-2002 where I did session work and recorded with groups in some of the finest studios in the world. I am constantly trying to learn new things in music and have a knack for explaining things in a unique way that makes learning fun. I love to teach and live for those "Ah Ha" moments that happen along the way. I do realize every student is different so I have ways of evaluating what works and customizing the less
