Welcome - Guitar for Kids Program, Grand junction
Enjoyable Kids Guitar Program, Ages 8 -18
Guitar students are special. They learn so many different techniques and with every lesson there is something new. With this easy and effective course, your child will master their guitar skills with books 1 and 2. Then after that they will advance through different techniques on level 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
In my guitar lessons here in Grand Junction, I base everything off of the "CAGED" system. These are the 5 chords they will start off learning. They will learn different strumming patterns, how to read and play notes and work with drums for beat.
If they already know how to play piano, this will be an even easier course as guitar and piano go hand-in-hand. If they don't know piano, feel free to take my private piano lessons for a 20% discount and they can master both guitar and piano all at the same time.

Guitar for kids Levels 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5
What Happens Next?
Each year your child will advance to a new level in their guitar lessons. In each level, they will learn more strumming patterns, picking patterns, tab, pentascales, chords, notes and so much more all while learning all of the language of music. I will also introduce duet playing with other instruments in their music lessons.
Favorite Songs
They can also choose their own favorite songs that I will use to smooth out their guitar playing experiences.
Compositional Pieces
One of the most exciting things about our studio is your child will have a chance to compose their own piece. This will happen with any age level. This is done to help them understand how a piece is put together and how to determine the sound of a piece.
**Make sure when you go to the registration page, you write down which level your child is on. You can ask if you are not sure.**
My Experience With Guitar
I first learned guitar in Junior High. My brother-in-law played and it always intrigued me. I picked up on it really fast because I already understood and knew the language of music.
I took lessons in Junior High and since then I have played guitar in numerous settings. I have mostly played while leading children in songs at church, camp, youth group, and CEF (Child Evangelism Fellowship).
It's a privilege for me to teach children how to carry on the tradition of the guitar, as it is a wonderful instrument.
