Teaching Style
I tailor every lesson to each student's needs and present the information in a fun and accessible manner. Some students learn best by ear, others work well with music, tab or chord charts which I can provide. I am happy to help students who have a preference of how they want to learn. I do encourage everyone to embrace some music theory along the way as this helps students to learn their instrument better and faster. Knowing the basics of theory also makes it easier to improvise or pick up tunes on the fly in jams. Feel free to contact Carl anytime with questions about lessons.
