While teaching, I take take into account at what level the student is, and what the student wants to learn, and then teach appropriately. I don’t have a fixed syllabus to teach as

‚House of Rock‘ is not a school, instead it is a House of Rock, where private guitar lessons are held in a relaxed homely atmosphere.

Which I believe is the best way to learn as the student can progress at his own pace without any pressure and the teacher can give individual attention to the student.

The lessons are of 45 minutes duration and are held once a week at my house, which is the House of Rock 🙂 The timings are very flexible and I teach guitar to all age groups. The lessons are taught in a homely atmosphere in a fun and engaging manner.

To give some organisational structure, I have structured the lessons as follows, just for a basic idea:

——————————————————————————————————————–

FOUNDATION

It will get you started with all the correct techniques. The syllabus is carefully developed keeping a beginner in mind as this is usually the part when a student loses interest if not taught in an engaging manner by understanding the students individual needs. If you put in a little bit of your own practice, you will be amazed at the progress you can make in a short time.

 BEGINNER

If you know the basics, it means that you’ve cleared the first level, which is usually the point when most students give up. So you’re already willing to learn more and ready to further your skills. This is the point when most people start enjoying playing this lovely instrument.

INTERMEDIATE

People usually hit a plateau at a point once they have started playing the basic pentatonic scales, basic improvisation, read simple transcriptions and play the occasional solo, but you know it’s not enough. If you feel this way, then this is for you.
