Guitar Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Swanlake, ID

As a private teacher of violin and piano for four years, I enjoy helping students grow in their musical abilities. I have students from ages four to fifty two. I have a minor in music from the University of Nevada Reno. During my schooling at the university I received education in teaching development, music theory, sight singing, and music history. I also experienced performing in the University Orchestra, and taking private lessons both piano and violin from professional musicians. I love teaching and working with children and also adults. I am patient, considerate, and understanding but I know when to give my students challenges to help them progress in their musical abilities. I believe in setting goals for students and working with them to achieve those goals. I go the extra mile to work on finding the best way each student and then teach them in that way finding the right materia

I love teaching kids. All kids can are different in the way they learn. you need to be able to recognize those kids who are auditory learners, and hands on learners and be able to make a good balance of both so both kids may benefit. I like to set goals for each tutor session weather it be something like learning the alphabet or knowing you first ten multiplication facts. You then need to set one long term goal for that child to reach. this way each day they feel as if they have succeeded and learned something. I hope i can be an educator who can make just a little difference in children's lives. I worked with Special Ed kids with reading, writing, and math. I tutored my Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years of high school. I have most of my certifications in the medical field, but i also graduated High school a semester early and with enough credits to be a sophomore in college. I do pref

I usually start by teaching the general mechanics of the instrument, demonstrating the different features of the guitar and how they work. I believe that it is paramount that students learn how to tune their instrument before they can play it. I show them the techniques of working the fretboard and how to produce a proper tone. I will then assess the students knowledge of basic music theory and proceed based on that knowledge. My background is in music. My first formal training started taking piano lessons when I was eight years old. During my junior high and high school years I was in the band. My primary instrument was the trumpet. I also studied vocal music and took some classes in basic music theory. When I was seventeen years old I learned the guitar. I am self taught on that instrument and have played it daily for thirty two years. I started performing professionally in local bands

I have the ability to work with diverse students of all ages and levels. Whether the student is 15 or 50, I can help the him/her learn and feel comfortable around me. I possess the rare gift of patience which allows me to work with even the least confident student, or the most rambunctious! My teaching style aims at explaining and discovering the simplicity in every subject. I believe that everyone can understand a principle if both the student and teacher work hard together to identify the way to success. During the completion of my BMA, I accepted a tutoring position and tutored all students (including disabled students) for two years. I eventually moved on to substituting for professors and even gained an assistant to the professor position, which included developing and teaching lesson plans. I have excellent communication skills with students and the ability to determine effec
