Being a good guitar teacher and the two common styles of teaching
For me, there are two main styles of teaching guitar
- The notation in a book of instruction
- By the method of the favorite song
Learning by the notation:
It is a common form of most of the old masters teach. The method involves teaching the basics and the first music notation. Here is a list,
- guitar parts
- sitting or standing
- gather farm
- Numbering fingers
- music staff
- Note Naming
- Pub
- Values Notes
- signatures time
- Rating sight reading for the six strings
- Read playing point of view scoring six strings
- Play songs rating for a fluid phase
This method, the end is a great way to learn guitar, but my experience is most appropriate for children under 12 or adults who realize the importance of reading scores and lines of rhythm. Anyway, I think it is that attendance Students average 10-15 hours before you want to learn songs or playlist.
A large number of new students coming to my classes that played before they always say: "I can play well enough, but I know nothing about music or the". It seems to be a known fact that they have really strong in the notation or music theory on guitar. Because of this guitar is a popular instrument to learn, and by the fact that video clips and rock image band. I think the student learning the violin, cello, trumpet or any other classical instrument will put more emphasis on experience and practice because they are aware of the regiment came with this instrument. Because of this rebellious behavior that comes with the guitar a lot of teachers use method of learning through song favorite. In this way, the student remains interested in the curriculum.
Learn the method of the favorite song:
This is the most popular method of teaching, by far, both for students and teachers. Many teachers use this method, and the main reason for this is because it gets results fast with a wide range students. When you start a new lesson, I'll explain the two methods of learning and they are usually the choice they would like the way forward, in most cases leave the decision to me.
Choosing the right method for the student:
Age is an important factor in selecting the method of teaching. As usually the primary school children do not have much group of peer influence when it comes to music. They like what they like and is usually due to their parents the choice of music. Therefore, they are easily influenced when it comes to a song on guitar and happily practice what they are given. Children do are generally not taught a little slower, step by step, one thing is missing on the road, as this could be confusing. Also, try to create some games they can play in class, things like:
- Agreement forms of divination
- time to see how fast it agreement can change another
- memory-card game that uses diagrams, photos, TAB notation of the same chords or notes
- Personal Note guessing game
I found a few games on the Internet and learning software tools that are useful.
- Guitropolis: target = "" www.guitropolis.com> _blank (software games and lesson plans to learn)
- Music Theory Net (target = "_blank"> www.musictheory.net this site is primarily the theory of music, but has a couple of coaches are useful)
Since children under 12 years are a blank page gives you more flexibility in teaching the theory and some notation music instead of racing to play popular songs immediately. The age limit is not a set of rules, but more than one line Director.
Some older pupils in particular young people want to learn the guitar just for the image. The guitar, drums and vocals are probably the most popular instruments to learn simply by the fact that children are bombarded with music videos, idol-type programs and movies that show the rock and local lifestyle. If you compare a student's learning cello, clarinet or someone learning the guitar, the attitude is a big difference. Someone learning a classical instrument usually understand the process of learning that regimented contributed to the learning of these types of instruments.
In general, learning must be fun with the instrument to maintain a balanced level lessons on the structure of the songs deal

About the Author
My teaching philosophy is to encourage the interest and passion that my students have for music, by allowing them to learn the guitar through their favourite songs. There is no use in trying to force sight reading and music theory on a teenager who wants nothing more than to be in a band just for fun. I have always found music can only be successfully taught once someone has been playing for a little while, and they start to love the instrument. As they improve on the basics, their natural desire is to become better, and at that moment they realise they need to know (and most importantly, want to know) the theory they initially despised!
