About Joel

I hold a bachelor’s degree in music with a specialization in guitar performance and have 6 years of experience teaching students of various ages and skill levels. My passion for the guitar started early, and I am dedicated to helping others develop their skills and express themselves through music. My teaching approach is personalized, focusing on each student’s individual goals and learning style. Whether you’re a beginner learning your first chords or an experienced player working on complex fingerstyle techniques, I create lessons that challenge and inspire. I emphasize both technical proficiency and musicality to help students become well-rounded guitarists. Over the years, I have helped students improve their chord transitions, finger independence, and music theory knowledge. I believe that understanding the fundamentals and applying them creatively is key to musical growth and enjoyment. I am committed to continuous learning as an educator, staying updated with new teaching methods and musical trends. My goal is to create a supportive and motivating environment where students feel confident to explore their musical potential and develop a lifelong love for guitar.

About the lesson

Guitar lessons are designed to suit players at every level, from absolute beginners to those looking to refine advanced techniques. Each lesson is personalized to fit your learning style and musical interests, ensuring steady progress while keeping the experience enjoyable and motivating. Whether your goal is to play popular songs, master fingerstyle, or understand music theory, lessons are tailored to help you achieve your objectives.

One of the main focuses is chord progression, where you learn to transition smoothly between chords and build a strong rhythmic foundation. This skill is essential for playing a wide variety of music genres and supports overall guitar fluency.

Fingerstyle techniques are also emphasized, helping students develop finger independence, precision, and control. These skills open up new possibilities for playing intricate melodies and harmonies, adding depth to your performance.

Music theory is integrated to deepen your understanding of scales, harmony, and song structure. This knowledge enhances creativity and improvisation, empowering you to compose your own music and adapt to different musical styles. The lessons aim to create confident, versatile guitarists who enjoy playing and continue growing musically.
