I offer guitar instruction for all ages and skill level, beginner to advanced. Private one on one lessons. I have many years of experience and a proven track record. Before relocating to my present residence of Medicine Hat I owned and operated a very successful guitar school in Saskatoon, " Picks Guitar Studio " for several years. My method is an alternative to the typical " music store conservatory " programs. I'm high on fundamentals and technique, focus on learning how to " play " the instrument rather than spending the majority of the year learning how to play a few songs well ! Of course, learning how to play your favorite songs is the goal of any student and something we the instructor and student strive for. We achieve that goal without sacrificing the most important aspects of mastering the instrument and music knowledge. I make my lessons a very enjoyable experience and an interesting journey as we unravel the secrets of music making. I teach all popular styles and more, various playing styles and technique. I also teach musical composition which includes my fun, easy and practical theory method. Students will have many choices and direction when ready to take the next step after the basics and fundamentals are covered. My lessons are very personalized and eventually are geared towards the musical interest of the student. All ages are welcome. Lessons are $17.00 per lesson , half hour in length, once a week. Hour long lessons are also offered under the right circumstances. Duration of lessons are from September to the end of June. As a note, I teach out of home in my studio which gives the student a very real musical atmosphere. If interested, please call with any other questions you may have, I'll be more than happy hear from you. Thank you !
