If you are a beginner you have so many options available today. In the end you can’t beat private guitar lessons. As a teacher I will give you direction and keep you on track to to play the music you want to play. At the end of the day you want to have fun playing the guitar...that's what it's all about.
If you are an experienced player your personal playing concept is the foundation of your style. It allows you to take on new ideas in a logical manner and to grow as a musician. "Guitar Coaching" will help you develop this core concept and steer you away from information overload. Instead of guitar lessons in the traditional sense I am really acting as your guitar coach.
Finding a Good Teacher...
I think the first thing you need to look for is someone who is in it for the right reasons. That is, they love what they do and are not just in it for the money or until something better comes along.
Do you matter or are you part of a “sausage factory mentality”? It’s important that you are treated as a person and not a number, with some larger music schools you can often get lost in the turnover of staff and students.
The lessons need to be private, that is one on one. You need individual attention when learning an instrument like the guitar.
A good teacher will have a plan in place. Even though every student is an individual with their own specific needs the teacher should have a basic framework for the lessons. It’s the method for ensuring and measuring progress in a logical well thought out way.
A teacher needs to have the experience and knowledge to understand what it is you are wanting to achieve and be able to guide you along the best path to achieve your goals. This truly comes with time teaching and playing guitar.
It’s also good to have a connection with the person that is teaching you. If the personal connection is not there it makes the learning process difficult if not impossible.
The last is not an essential as I’m sure there are some good teachers who don’t play gigs… but it is good to see your teacher performing. At least you know they are not just talking the talk but out there and doing it. It can be a source of inspiration.

I have been learning from Ross for over 12 months and I'm very happy learning from a very nice guy with a friendly and relaxed approach to teaching.
If you are serious about learning then Ross is your man!

- piano lessonsI have 46 years of experience in piano teaching. I taught at University and Music School in former Soviet Union, at Huntingtower School in Mount Waverley and my private studio. Teach all styles- classical, jazz and modern. When looking for a music teacher for beginner, you will probably consider getting a very experienced teacher, as the fist year of tuition is the most important, even critical, so they can build a technique and a performing ability free of unnecessary tension and effort.Mount Waverley, VIC•221w
- Notes Of Joy Piano StudioI have over 20 years of experience playing and learning the piano. I have been teaching for 7 years now and truly enjoy the work I do. Watching children learn, play, make mistakes, and grow from them brings a smile to my face every day. Lessons are available in 30, 45, or 60-minute increments, depending on your child's preference. During each lesson, I ensure that your child is not only learning but also having a lot of fun. I vary the lessons weekly to keep them engaging and prevent them frDandenong North, VIC•10w
