Guitar Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in New Fairfield, CT

I have 20 years experience working with students from beginner to advanced. Adult students are welcome. I have about 20 years of one-on-one teaching experience working with all types of aspiring guitarists. I have been playing for 30 years, and have performed close to one thousand times in various small jazz groups, both as a leader and a sideman. I have also sustained original rock projects and played in large ensembles. I have produced large scale concert events and handled the booking for several music venues. I make sure each student receives a real music education and becomes comfortable with a music theory foundation, I expose all students to reading and encourage them to become good readers, which will set them apart from many guitar players out there. A good portion of the lessons focus on repertoire, with the student choosing the majority of the material.

Experience of 45 years I have been teaching spanish and guitar for over 40 years and I am very confident within my methods of teaching. I may not have a degree in spanish but with 55 years of experience with spanish I know what it takes to become successful within the language. You are capable of doing anything you put your mind to, and taking the time to understand spanish or guitar is definitely rewarding in so many levels. So if I am a vessel for you to become better with your goals, I will dedicate what I can to help. Also, if your tutoring is centered around homework helping with spanish and/or guitar and you would like to only be working on specific assignments, that is perfectly respectable and comprehension of the subject is what grades are based on so I am here to help.

I'm a very bright high school senior with a rigorous AP schedule at New Britain High. I don't have any tutoring experience but I've worked for two years at a christian summer camp, so I have a lot of experience with children of all ages. I've always had a talent for explaining material and making it fun, and I'm interested of pursuing a career in post secondary education.

I have worked in the educational field for 25 plus years now. My first experience in the profession was in the mid-80's as a private tutor for junior high and high school students. I was also hired by my town and a neighboring town to provide homebound instruction. Subject areas I was responsible for included social sciences, American and world history, mathematics and English. Upon completion of my certification requirements I was employed at a small private school. The school specialized in assisting students with learning and developmental disabilities. During the evenings I worked in the adult education program of a local town. Subject areas I taught were civics, English as a second language and external diploma program. My school also sent me to receive training and be the representative in the "Newspapers in Education" program. I am currently employed as an adult education represe

I have now been playing the guitar for roughly eight years. Performing at school concerts to charity events and now playing gigs at local clubs and restaurants, I am venturing off towards the directions of teaching the instruments to willing students. I have been teaching students from the age of 14-17 for the past year as some of them have began their own bands and playing at concerts. I prefer to teach towards the student, meaning working not only on the students strengths but also their weakness. By doing so, the student will be able to play at their highest level. Specifically, teaching the guitar is much more abstract than learning Math or English. The guitar takes coordination, hearing, and soul to learn. I plan on teaching every student not to just play songs but how to truly play the guitar.

The basics of performing and songwriting with acoustic or electric guitar. Setup and maintenance. As a Product and Project Manager with over 10 years of cumulative experience managing software, web and video game products to market, I offer students real-world perspectives and exercises to prepare them for real-world design, production, quality assurance, leadership and marketing careers. I tend to teach the concepts that are not found in textbooks and always challenge my students to think critically. In both my technical business and music coaching backgrounds, I take two different approaches: - In a group class, I teach structured lessons with engaging group exercises where possible and time for Q&A. - In individual coaching, I assess each learner's intrinsic motivations (mastery, learning, recognition, etc.) for taking the lessons and then structure assignments that apply to and cha

My teaching style varies from student to student based on playing level, musical interests, and personality. I use a mix of method books and aural learning techniques. The student's musical priorities always come first! I have been playing music my whole life. I began playing piano at six years old, saxophone at ten, bass guitar at thirteen, and guitar at fourteen. Throughout my high school career I played a variety of rock band gigs on guitar, bass, and keyboards; I also played a variety of jazz gigs on saxophone. Currently I am a music student at William Paterson University, and am graduating this May with a degree in Jazz Saxophone Performance.

I have a bachelor’s degree from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, (major subject: Social Anthropology). Other university subjects are Sociology, Media/Communication, Literature and French. I am well read and I have a wide spectrum of interests. Since the late 80’s I have been occupied with and interested in computers/Internet. I have been a information & knowledge worker for many years, including journalism. I also have experience from working as a translator and language tutor.I am an American citizen. I enjoy teaching and I love languages; language and culture are two sides of the same coin. I believe everybody can learn, but each in different ways. I'm told that I have a way of making people curious and eager to learn, not limited by the ability to transfer my own passion and fascination for languages to others.

When I started working at Colchester High School in Vermont, I initially identified myself much more with the students than the teachers and staff. Back in high school, I went out of my way to rebel against the school. In Vermont I quickly learned that there is a big difference-- that as an adult now, I am on the "other side," but can use this closeness I feel with the adolescent mindset to help with the learning process for the kids. I believe that every child is capable of learning anything, it is just a matter of sparking the fire and desire to gain knowledge within them. I graduated from McGill University in Montreal in 2001, with a BA in Geography and a minor in History. Since then I have had a very diverse experience, working in Vermont as a teacher's aide as well as in a land trust, and in Montreal managing a nightclub and booking bands and acts from Canada and the US.

I would consider my teaching style to be very organic and adaptable. I consider each student individually, and I evaluate what works best for that student in particular. I am trained in various forms of teaching, and I have a complete understanding of the various learning personalities and characteristics of students that I have worked with and will work with in the future. I began mentoring students during my tenure at Regis High School, a private, full-scholarship-only high school in New York City at the age of 17. After attending Villanova University and Fordham University's Graduate School of Business Administration, I began tutoring part-time with Studypoint. I have tutored over 30 different students in nearly all academic areas, including SAT, ACT, ISEE, SSAT and Academic Programs for grades K-12. I am currently a law student at Pace Law School in White Plains, NY, and I would love

I achieved a BA with the intent to teach in the Public School System, however, I soon found myself earning a living as a Musician playing with some top acts. I spent 10 years traveling the US, Puerto Rico, Antigua, Cuba, and Panama with the USO. I have learned varied musical styles and vocal techniques during this time. After returning from the "road" I opened my own Music Store, named Guitar Heaven, and continued to teach and repair Guitars and other Stringed Instruments. I love teaching Guitar to all ages, but especially enjoy working with the children and beginning students, who can learn the theory and technique necessary to become excellent Musicians. The ability to gain and maintain a fun, learning environment, will make the student want to learn more and more each lesson! I have taught many students who became teachers and professional Musicians, enjoying successful careers o
