Guitar Lessons

Guitar Lesson Information

The goal of our instruction is always to help a student learn the music they like and achieve the musical goals they have set for themselves. We work on the fundamentals like reading sheet music, music theory, proper right and left hand technique, etc. This knowledge is then applied to music the student is interested in.

Guitar, being a stand alone instrument, is very fun and challenging to play. With time and practice you will find yourself playing songs you hear on the radio and/or jamming with your friends.


What We Teach

Rhythm guitar (i.e. strumming and chords)
Different Guitar Techniques/Playing Styles (i.e. finger-style, soloing)
Note Reading and Tablature
Genres that can be taught….Pop, Rock, Blues, Metal, Country, Christian, Church Worship, etc.
and….whatever songs/styles the student wants to learn (as their abilities permit)

Acoustic and Electric Guitar are both taught. A student can start with either instrument depending on what their ultimate goal is.

How Long/Frequency:
Lessons are once a week for 30 minutes and there are generally only four lessons a month. Longer lessons can be arranged (ie. 45 minutes or an hour) if the student so desires. For advanced students this allows for more time to work on advanced concepts.

STUDENT REVIEWS

I take lessons with Joey Archer. After only 2 months I am playing like I never thought I could before lessons. I choose the songs I want to learn and am constantly challenged. You will have to commit to practicing when you sign up, if you just want to look cool carrying a guitar case, you may as well put your lunch in it, because this is a place to learn to get better every week. I highly recommend. -Kim H

My son is one of Joey’s youngest students, he is 6. I really like that he tailors the teaching to his age level. Anthony looks forward to going to guitar lessons every week. Joey also always gives just the right amount of homework for my son, so that my son can stay focused. He also teaches him music that he listens to and is familiar with and is interested in. He also makes my son laugh. He has been in lessons 7 months and will continue for many years to come. -Karyl
