What makes an effective guitar teacher?
• The effective guitar teacher makes each lesson fun while he uses his experience and expertise to guide the student on a musical journey.
• The effective guitar teacher listens to the student and creates a program based on the student’s interests and goals.
• Being creative is fun and fulfilling. The effective guitar teacher encourages the student to explore and experiment.
• The effective guitar teacher makes the student feel at ease. For a teacher and student to reach the “next level,” they must establish trust. When the student feels free and not self-conscious, mistakes made while playing in the lesson become opportunities to learn and grow.
