About Valerie

With three years of experience as a guitar instructor and international performance expertise, I am dedicated to helping students of all skill levels achieve their musical goals. My background spans a diverse range of genres, including Rock, Soul, Funk, Folk, and Latin, allowing me to offer a versatile and engaging learning experience. My passion for music and teaching drives me to create a supportive environment where students can thrive and develop their unique musical voice.

My teaching approach emphasizes a strong technical foundation, starting with essential skills such as chord progressions, strumming patterns, and finger exercises. I tailor lessons to match each student’s current level and musical interests, ensuring that they build confidence and competence as they progress. As students advance, we explore various genres and techniques, providing a well-rounded musical education that keeps the learning process both enjoyable and relevant.

Performance is a crucial aspect of my teaching philosophy. I encourage students to participate in informal recitals and jam sessions to build their confidence and stage presence. Additionally, we work on interpretative skills and managing performance anxiety, helping students to express themselves more fully through their music and perform with assurance in different settings.

Ultimately, my mission is to inspire a lifelong passion for music and support students in reaching their individual aspirations. I take pride in seeing my students grow and succeed, and I am committed to offering personalized guidance that makes each lesson meaningful and enjoyable. Whether you are just starting out or seeking to refine your skills, I am here to guide and motivate you on your musical journey.

In my guitar lessons, I focus on building a strong technical foundation while exploring a wide range of musical genres. We start with fundamental skills such as chord progressions, strumming patterns, and finger exercises, tailored to the student's current level. This initial focus ensures that students develop the essential techniques needed for more advanced playing.

As students progress, we delve into various genres, including Rock, Soul, Funk, Folk, and Latin. I customize the lessons to reflect each student’s musical interests, incorporating genre-specific techniques and repertoire. This approach not only keeps the learning experience engaging but also helps students gain versatility and a deeper appreciation for different styles of music.

Performance practice is a key component of my teaching. I encourage students to participate in informal recitals and jam sessions, which provide valuable experience and build their confidence. Additionally, we work on developing interpretative skills and managing performance anxiety, helping students express themselves effectively and perform with confidence.

Overall, my lessons are designed to be both educational and enjoyable. By combining technical instruction with genre exploration and performance practice, I aim to help students achieve their musical goals and foster a lasting passion for the guitar. Whether you're a beginner or looking to advance your skills, I am here to guide and support you every step of the way.
