Best Guitar Lessons in Frisco, TX

Ages 7 to 9 typically require a 1/2 or 3/4 size guitar. Several companies make a good-quality small guitar-emphasis here is on "good quality." We know it's tempting to buy a $50 guitar for a small child just starting out, but it usually makes it impossible for him/her to succeed because bad sound and high string action result from poor quality guitars. 10-years-old and up typically are old enough for a full size guitar. While a full size guitar will be large to most 10-year-olds, they'll be able to get used to the size and grow into it. Kids must be comfortable with their instruments so there are no barriers to practicing at home. Our program provides a range of options to adjust student's guitars to make their playability match the student's skill, size, and age, including changing strings, changing tunings, removing strings, using capos-all as needed to help the student.

Mark Black's videos on ExpertVillage, eHow, and YouTube have been viewed over a million times. Beyond that, Mark teaches from his belief that most people can learn to sing well, rather than just using his lesson to look for a few star students to make him famous. While a million people can be wrong, in this case, we're sure they're right-Promethean rocks!

Odds are definitely in your favor that you can learn to sing, and sing well! Your problem is most likely that you've trained your ear not to listen to your voice, so to speak. The ear is the target for the voice, the only "person" who knows what note you're supposed to be hitting. Singing without really listening is like a blind man trying to drive. With directed practiced over time, most vocalists can overcome this obstacle, but it takes work.

We provide some materials for students and have students purchase other materials, mostly so that students can play exactly the music they personally love, and we don't violate any copyright laws in the process. We'll give you a list of materials you need to purchase at your first lesson. We can recommend stores in the area where you can purchase any needed materials.

Absolutely not. Some have degrees, some have advanced degrees, but we'd put 15 or 20 years of playing experience against a degree any day of the week. Degreed or not, our instructor is a great player, skilled at teaching, motivated and trained to make lessons enjoyable and purposeful, able to take students from any level to professional quality. Having a degree doesn't make someone a great musician or a great instructor, as anyone with a degree knows. Musicians and music instructors without degrees have a long history of excellence. Just ask: Monteverdi Chris Martin Bach Norah Jones Mozart Victor Wooten Beethoven Ray Charles Wagner Gershwin Brahms Stevie Ray Clapton Barbara Streisand Miles Davis Luciano Pavarotti Coltrane John Maher James Taylor George Strait Joe Satriani Nat King Cole Eric Johnson Tony Rice Shania Twain Oscar Peterson Kirk Hammett Frank Sinatra Faith Hill Alan Jackson Ronnie Van Zant, BB King Paul Desmond ...and countless other amazing musicians. It's the quality that counts, not the paper on the wall.
