LESSONS
– All lessons are private one on one, and are held on a weekly basis.
– We can record lessons. An Mp3 of the lessons can be emailed to you after the lesson if you’d like
– I have amplifiers here. It’s recommended you bring your own guitar, but there are extra guitars here you can use.
Some of the things I can really help you with
1. Get your strumming and rhythm to a solid and consistent place
2. Gain a large repertoire of songs and pieces that sound good when you’re playing by yourself
3. Learn & master chords, scales, theory and technique in an applicable and useful way
4. Learn to sing and play any guitar rhythm at the same time
5. Learn your favourite songs, pieces and solos from front to end
6. Learn specific styles (Jazz, Bluegrass, Funk, Blues, Country, Slide, Blues, Fingerstyle, Heavy metal, Rock, Classical)
7. Learn how to play well with other musicians and be a supportive band member
8. Learn how to improvise, and solo over many different styles
9. Learn how to write songs
10. Be more inspired and driven to pick up the guitar!
Rates and studio policy:
(these are the same rates for in person lessons or through Skype)
30 minutes – $30
45 minutes – $45
60 minutes – $50
Payment schedule: Lessons are to be paid for in 1 month instalments, and students are required to settle up their accounts on the first lesson of the month
Cancellation notice: I completely understand that health issues and last minute emergencies may arise. However, I expect to be notified should you need to cancel your lesson 24 hours in advance. That way, it gives me time to shuffle around my lessons and make any changes to my schedule. If 24 hrs notice isn’t given, you will still be charged for the lesson and a make-up lesson will be offered within a 30 day frame of time (see next point)
Make-Up Lesson Must be Booked within 30 days of absence: I may be able to double up a lesson for the lesson missed or offer you another day to come in and make up the lesson. These must be booked within 30 days of the cancellation or else you will completely forfeit the lesson.
Lesson Cancellation on Teacher’s Behalf: I am a touring musician and there are going to be times when I will not be available to give a lesson during our scheduled time. In that case, I will make that time up with you, should it be doubling up on a lesson or spreading the time out until we have completely made up for the time missed.
Monthly Commitment basis: Please understand this is how I make a living, therefore it is extremely hard for me to offer lessons on a random basis with my clients. There are 4/or 5 weeks in a month and you will be billed accordingly at the beginning of the month. If you know you are going to be away one of those weeks, an adjustment in the lesson payment will be made or a make-up lesson will be scheduled. It is also important for the student to keep up with weekly lessons if improvements in voice are to be made. If lessons are done sporadically, it is very hard to keep, see and hear improvement in technique.
Cancelled lessons are non-refundable: You are required to schedule a make-up lesson with me to cover for the lesson missed. I will not refund or credit the lesson towards future lessons.
