Topic: Teaching

Just curious, how many of you chordie members teach guitar? Even a little bit, or regularly?
What do you all think of it, and what are your styles of teaching?
I teach in a conservatory and private, and I love it.
wondering how many other there are on here, and if any of them want to share problems/ advice and stuff like that ?

Re: Teaching

I hold classes 2 days a week..... A group class of 8 on Saturdays and private lessons on Wednesdays.... I'll have to elaborate later class starts at 10 and I'm running late smile

I've taught on and off, mostly for fun more than anything.

Re: Teaching

I currently have 12 students and all are taught individually with an occasional 'get together' of 3 or 4 for fun.

Re: Teaching

I posted an ad on the bulletin board at my son's school back in Jan. offering to teach kids. No calls yet. I think it would be fun to teach the guitar. Just waiting for something to happen.

Re: Teaching

I taught my 9 year old grandson the one finger version of G and C chords and 3 finger D7. Now at 11 he is showing me stuff. I have to give chordie a lot of the credit.

Re: Teaching

I teach beginner's guitar to ages ranging from 6 to 19 at the moment, I'm 17 myself. Would also teach music theory but nobody's interested in that!

Classical guitar is my passion but I seem to mostly find people interested in electric guitar or very boring generic acoustic guitar versions of their favourite Westlife songs. I'm entering one of my students for his grade 1 soon, hopefully! I like to occasionally teach people who are close friends, but they get it for free of course smile My "pupils" seem to like me.
