If you dream of slinging a stylish guitar and doing the rock star act, it is never too late. There are no age or time limits for learning guitar. All you need to have is a drive and interest to learn the instrument. If you do, Nashville offers good opportunities for you to take guitar lessons. However, the efficiency with which you learn to play depends on the teacher who teaches you. It really does not matter whether you learn online or in a bricks and mortar class. If you want to learn and you know how to choose the right instructor, you can master the guitar. Here are some do’s and don’ts when you choose an instructor.
Do’s
* Ask the instructor about his way of teaching. If you are not happy with his technique of teaching, you probably will not be comfortable once you join his class
* Find a teacher who tracks his or her students’ progress. It is important that the teacher track all aspects of learning
* Find a teacher who teaches new things rather than repeating the same old things that he has taught hundreds of previous batches. He should teach you to be innovative
* Always check testimonials from previous students
* Ask if the teacher has written music before. A good guitarist is always passionate about creating his own music. Moreover, the instructor should teach you to create music and not just copy songs
* Choose a teacher who can teach the genre of music that you are interested in
* Choose a teacher who offers a couple of free lessons. It helps you understand whether you are comfortable with him
* Choose teachers who begin from the beginning. You should learn how to read music, read notations and be able to understand beats so that you can become an independent musician
Don’ts
* Do not choose an instructor who does not seem approachable and easy to talk to. If you want to be a good musician, you need an instructor who you can talk to without hesitation
* If you choose a regular guitar class, do not choose one that is overly crowded because the instructor cannot pay personal attention to you. At the same time, do not join a class that has meager students because that could indicate that the teacher is not very good
* Do not choose a teacher who does not care about why you want to learn guitar. It is important that the teacher takes your objective into consideration while teaching you
* Do not choose a teacher who only teaches from a book. Every teacher uses a book for some part of teaching. However, teaching straight from it could make you lose interest. Also, books cannot offer the advantage of the instructor’s experience
* Do not choose a teacher solely based on the low fees that he charges. Check out other aspects such as number of students, his experience, teaching methodology and others
