Rate is $25/hr., conducted here at the
Recording Studio just outside of New London. Shorter
or longer, and every other week lessons available as
well. I also can make house calls for lessons with
appropriate arrangements. Family discounts are
available when lessons are booked back-to-back, or
simultaneously.
Lessons are non-genre-specific, or not
based on any particular style of music. Songs to be
learned are student-supplied, not dictated by the teacher
or a book.
All lessons are conducted "by
ear" with strong emphasis on music theory. I
use a completely original method; developed over 20 years
to get the student to simply listen to music, and then
duplicate what is heard on their instrument. No note
reading is involved. If you want to learn to read
sheet music or tablature, then I am not the right teacher
for you. Often I can help you find someone locally
who teaches note reading, or other instruments I do not
teach.
Students are expected to practice
daily, be prepared for the next lesson, and encouraged to
experiment and write their own music.
