For parents: what kids work on with me

Learning guitar trains more than the fingers. Your child practices sticking with something, finds out they can do something difficult, and gets a voice that does not need words.

Lessons are tailored closely to the child. I first ask which music they like, and we build on that.

  • Focus and staying power through regular practice
  • Confidence, including small performances for the family
  • Creativity and a way to express themselves
  • A skill that lasts a lifetime

Every age has its own path

The length of a lesson and the amount of practice follow your child's age.

Ages 5 to 8

Little Musicians

Learning through play, with short exercises, rhythm games and simple songs. A lesson is 30 minutes, which matches the attention span at this age. Parents may sit in for the first 3 lessons.
