About the lesson

Patience, organization and discipline are key when teaching music, particularly guitar. The areas of study the beginning guitarist will learn are:

1.    How to hold the guitar properly.

2.    Finger technique

3.    Basic chords

4.    Applying finger technique and basic chords “in time”.

5.    Playing pop tunes as well as some folk tunes

At the intermediate level of study, reading and writing music are introduced, as well as music theory. Students will be playing more involved songs as bar chords and improvisation are introduced.

At the advanced level students really start to dissect how the notes are laid out on the fretboard.They will study different chord inversions, and different styles of music, as well as copy favorite guitar solos to help with improvisation.

Below are some quotes from a student and parent.
“I have had the privilege of having Mike as my mentor for 11 years now. I was eight years old when I started and was hooked ever since. His passion for the instrument and unique style of teaching was monumental in my success as a student. ”.
Darren Nussbaum
“My son had guitar teachers that he did not click with. He was almost ready to give up UNTIL he met Mike Dorio. Mike encouraged my son to love and appreciate guitar in a way that I did not think possible. He is still playing at 19. He started at age 8”.
Lynn Nussbaum
