I am much older but Graham still manages to find a way to speak and explain new concepts to add to my skillset. Watched the kid grow up and now he’s teaching me!!!

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonFirst we will establish your skill level. With this we will know where to start. We may focus on simple chords or complex runs, or songs you wish to learn. There is also a focus on proper instrument care.
Lesson 11+Lessons beyond here shall be decided based on the ferocity of the learner and nurturing their skillset in a non-intrusive manner while still pushing boundaries and finding challenges in their ability.
Lesson 4-10At this time, significant improvement should be noted. We can take into consideration that a few areas have been covered, chords/songs/scales and will introduce new ways of implementing skills or arrangements learned.
Lesson 2-3By this point, we will have focused on a student-chosen topic and can start dictating the discrepancies in proficiency.
