Why Do You Need a Guitar Teacher For Your Guitar Lessons?

If you want to become a great guitar player, you need a good teacher. You might be thinking that you can learn everything on your own and save money. While this is true in some cases, in others, it's not.

For example, if you're starting on the guitar, it's crucial that you avoid bad habits that could hurt your playing later on. A good teacher can help identify these bad habits and provide solutions that will help you improve your playing as quickly and efficiently as possible.

The truth is that plenty of resources exist for beginners who want to learn guitar—but not all of them are created equal. Some will leave you with bad habits that will make it harder for you to improve; others won't help you identify the critical practice path that will help you get better most quickly and efficiently. And even if they help you find your path, they might not give you access to music within your reach at any given moment—or worse yet, they might steer you toward songs that are too difficult for your skill level!

But what if there was someone who could guide you through this process? Someone who could ensure that all of your resources worked together in harmony? Someone who would help identify bad habits before they become entrenched in your playing style? And someone who can be there when you are stuck in your learning (yes, it happens to all of us), and you have a list of questions. Yes, a guitar teacher is vital for your musical success!

A good teacher can also help you choose music that suits your level—helping you set realistic goals for yourself to keep motivation high while practicing. This will also allow your guitar learning process to flow smoothly and evenly. Getting a guitar teacher is one of the best investments you can make as a musician.

What Makes a Guitar Lesson?

When teaching student lessons, our guitar teachers focus on five main areas when designing a curriculum.

These areas are :

1. Technical skills.
2. Music theory.
3. Ear training.
4. Repertoire.
5. Creative songwriting/composition (if applicable).

Technical skills: The mechanics of playing the guitar, including strumming and picking mechanics and style, scales, melodic lines, areas of playing, chords, reading tablature,

Music Theory: Music theory is the study of how music is designed. It is essential because it helps us understand the why and how of the balance of chords with melodies. Why do they sound good together? What comes next? What is the structure of music? For the creative player, this can lay out a roadmap for improvisation and compositional work.

Ear Training: Ear training develops your ability to hear note and chord relationships. This brings you closer to listening to music as a language with its inherent elements, relationships and patterns. It will help you hear chords, and melodies and be able to understand them and play them on sight. We use simple games and exercises to help develop this skill -- making sure that each lesson leaves you with something new.

Repertoire: Learning songs allows you to practice your skills in a fun way and also gives you something new to perform in front of an audience! Learn classics, songs of the day, your favorite tunes, and even your own compositions. This is the great pay-off for studying and committing to guitar!

Creative songwriting/composition: Learn the elements of songwriting with your teacher. Use them as a guide and a point of professional feedback when learning how to use what you’ve learned when writing and performing your own compositions; this covers songs with lyrics, or solo guitar pieces.
