"I have 40 years experience playing guitar and trumpet, and achieved a music scholarship to college. I have taught guitar to children as young as 4th grade with great success. All of my instruction is theory based, i.e. learning how to read music, but also includes ear training to pick up chords/melody by listening to songs. I try to use free websites so as to keep the costs of learning materials to a minimum. In the case of trumpet, I would encourage buying learning materials.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Curriculum and Instruction, as well as a Master's degree in Theology. My concentration is in apologetics and Christian history, covering from the time of Jesus through the Apostolic fathers, to the time of the Council of Nice, 325 A.D. This is strong area of study, but I love history in other focused eras. If you wish to learn a certain time in history, I can very well structure a syllabus to assist you in your interest." less...
