Beginner training plan
Your first lessonI would say that the best way to start is by learning the parts of the guitar and doing exercises so that your fingers gain the necessary strength. The exercises also help you memorize the points of the neck and start gaining speed. But from experience, when you start learning you want to do it quickly. I ask each student what their favorite song is and I try to teach them an easy and basic way to keep that excitement alive and maintain the desire to continue learning.
Lesson 11+At this point the student is already a little more advanced and has a little bit of speed and precision, we will begin to form and understand the chords and begin to learn to play any song they want by training the ear to recognize the chords
Lesson 4-10Now that the student has a little more strength and speed in his fingers, we will begin to learn the location of the notes at each point of the instrument. I assure you that each lesson will have something that makes the student want to continue learning and not get discouraged.
Lesson 2-3In the following classes we will learn parts of the instrument, how to tune the instrument and exercises to gain strength, speed and precision, always trying to maintain that small surprise factor in each class to maintain motivation in the students,
Youth players
Working with kidsWhen I work with kids, I adjust my lessons depending on their age and learning style. For example, with younger children I use games, songs, and interactive activities to keep them engaged, while with older kids I encourage more independence and creativity. I make sure to go at their pace, celebrate their progress, and keep lessons fun so they stay motivated.
Working with teenagersWith teenagers, I adapt my lessons by making them more interactive and relevant to their interests. I give them space to explore their creativity, while still providing guidance and structure. I also use examples they can connect with — like popular music or current topics — so they stay engaged. Most importantly, I build trust and treat them with respect, which helps them open up and learn more effectively.
What you need to bringPassion for learning to play guitar, a smile, and a notebook
What I can bringIt is very important that every student has a guitar, but for new students who are still not sure about learning, I can lend them a guitar in their first classes to spark their interest in learning.
