A different kind of guitar lesson
We all know what guitar lessons look like, right? A guitar teacher sits you down and shows you a bunch of chords to learn, or teaches you a a song and corrects your technique. Or, even worse, they just walk you through a boring method book! What if there was a better way?
My guitar lessons in Winnipeg are different, because I aim to give you the skills and understanding needed to teach yourself, rather than make you reliant on your guitar teacher. In my guitar lessons we also explore the often neglected element of musical education: creativity!
Guitar lessons that give you freedom
Music is a language, and needs to be taught like a language. Too many guitar teachers in Winnipeg give students a few songs to play, but never give them the ability to express themselves. This is as if when you were learning to speak you were given certain words to say, and then corrected when you said them wrong! Would you have ever learned to speak?
Instead, my guitar lessons allow you the freedom to explore, even from the very beginning. Improvisation and songwriting are used as a tool to instill a deeper and more intuitive understanding of music – just like a language!
Structured and methodical guitar lessons
Although my guitar lessons are responsive to your needs, that doesn’t mean they’re random!
In my guitar lessons I take a step by step approach, breaking down techniques and concepts into their fundamental elements, allowing you to build your skills and musicality in a structured way.
So in my guitar lessons you’ll learn all the foundational elements of guitar playing, including:
-Strumming
-Chords
-Scales
-Improvisation/Jamming
-Technique
-Playing by ear
-Music theory
I can also teach specific techniques, such as fingerpicking, and can even include songwriting and basic recording techniques to create your own music. If you have a specific skill or aspect of music you want to explore, let me know!
Students also receive video practice routines, recorded at the end of the guitar lesson to help reinforce concepts that we’ve explored in the lesson.
Guitar lessons for all ages and experience levels
I offer guitar lessons for children as young as 6.
Whether you’re a complete beginner, or have been playing for years, my guitar lessons in Winnipeg will help you unlock your creativity and gain you a deeper understanding of your instrument and music as a whole!
