1. Comfort and Convenience
Among the many advantages of in-home guitar lessons is the unique convenience it offers. Learning how to play any musical instrument, not just guitar, can be a very time-consuming endeavour especially when you factor in the time it takes to commute to and from your lesson. Having to commute to a music school or studio can add even more stress to your already demanding schedule, especially when you add in traffic. Given the severity of Calgary’s winter weather and the added danger of commuting along icey road conditions, why would anybody not at least consider in-home guitar lessons, especially during winter?
If you’re a parent with a child who wishes to learn to play guitar, then juggling an additional activity that involves being some place at a specific time on top of regular school and extracurricular activities can easily be overwhelming. By choosing in-home guitar lessons, you will eliminate the need for travel and instead learn from the comfort of your own Calgary home. This convenience aspect provides for better time management as well as a more relaxed learning environment. Our in-home guitar lessons in Calgary are designed to best accommodate the busy schedules of our students and their families and work with them to ensure a better service.
2. Personal Attention & Custom Lessons
Steve’s in-home guitar lessons in Calgary ensure a unique opportunity for personalized attention and carefully tailored instruction. Different from group classes, where a curriculum may be generalized to accommodate many students, private in-home guita lessons enable the instructor to focus exclusively on your specific needs and objectives. Whether you are a beginner or intermediate player, your instructor can customize the lessons to match your own skill level, musical preferences, as well as learning style. This very personalized approach ensures swifter progress plus a much more enjoyable learning experience for the student. Going beyond many guitar lesson schools and studios, Steve goes to great lenghts to maintain records of each lesson and the student’s progress.
3. Flexibility and Scheduling
Life in Calgary, Alberta can be fast-paced and demanding at times, making it important to ensure flexibility in your guitar lessons scheduling. Steve’s in-home guitar lessons offer precisely that. You can work with Steve to find a comfortable time that suits you most, whether it is in the late morning, afternoon, evening, or even late at night. Lessons are also available on weekends. With this flexibility you can better balance your other commitments, be it school or work… without having to compromise your guitar-playing journey. Also, in-home lessons eliminate your need to maintain rigid class schedules, thereby giving you additional control over your learning experience.
4. Familiarity with Your Instrument, Equipment and Environment
Having guitar lessons at home enables you to learn to play guitar in a familiar setting with your instrument and various equipment you use regularly nearby. This familiarity ensures that you feel more comfortable and relaxed, thereby allowing for better focus, concentration and faster progress. Furthermore, your teacher can provide more precise guidance specific to your instrument and equipment (think electric guitar amplifier), ensuring you make the most of your own gear.
A private in-home guitar teacher in your Calgary home can help you improve your set-up, suggest accessories, and provide advice on ways to best maintain and care for your guitar(s) and related equipment. Steve has vast experience with many students over the years having changed guitar strings, performed guitar set-ups, neck adjustments, adjusted down amp tones, plus so much more.
5. Boosted Learning Motivation
Learning any new skill requires commitment and motivation, which may sometimes waver over time. However, having the presence of a dedicated in-home instructor in your personal space provides a constant source of accountability and, in turn, additional motivation. Your teacher can encourage and even challenge you, helping you remain on track and more easily achieve your personal guitar-playing goals. Plus this one-on-one interaction fosters a considerably stronger student-teacher relationship which helps to create a more supportive and stimulating learning environment.
Over time your in-home guitar teacher can become a mentor, further guiding you through your musical journey. As a mentor, your teacher can better connect with your personal goals and help create a smoother path to achieve them one after the other.
6. You Get What You Pay For
True, in-home guitar lessons will most likely cost you more initially than music schools and studios Calgary. However, when you factor in the cost of having to commute to and from your lessons (gas, additional mileage, vehicle wear and tear, parking, insurance etc.), plus all that extra time consumed, lessons in your home are actually more cost effective. Think of it: all that time you spend (pronounced waste) going to and from your lesson can be better utilized as guitar practice time. And who is not interested in having more time to practice guitar?
Also, many music schools and studios etc. offer a variety of lesson durations such as 30-minutes, 45 minutes and 60 minutes. While these options may provide more choice and an appearance of flexibility, note that 30-minute guitar lessons are widely considered too shore to ensure any significant progress can be made. Yes, you’ll appear to save money in the short run, but in fact you’ll be virtually throwing good money after bad.
