Steps When Considering Taking Guitar Lessons Winter Park

By Marci Nielsen


Guitars have recently elicited a lot of excitement from many people. The interest to learn how to play the guitar has also gone up. That is why so many places have come up offering to teach guitar lessons. Churches, clubs, organisations, schools and private individuals are all offering guitar lessons Winter Park. The Internet also has many sites offering lessons on how to play the guitar.

People who may want to learn to play this instrument are often held back by various reasons. For example fear of failure to learn or frustrations of slow learning, finances to pay a tutor, getting the time to practice amidst very busy work/school schedules, age as some claim they are too old to learn while some say that they do not have musical fingers.

When one decide to take up the task, then the mode of learning will be important. Does one learn from the Internet, which will offer privacy and convenience? Online training alone denies face-to-face interaction with a tutor and hence not much challenge for the learner

A learner who decides to hire a private tutor has to consider the cost of doing so. For beginners this might come at an extra high cost considering that they need many lessons. Convenience is also an issue since its not easy to get your preferred time or days all the time. Sometimes it may be hard to get a tutor who lives anywhere close to you thus incurring further transport costs.

Once the decision to study and mode of learning has been established, then its time to choose that guitar. Often learners opt to buy their guitars. The choice of the equipment may depend on cost, quality and fashion. One may go for a very costly one and then get frustrated with the lessons and give up. There are many kinds of guitars suitable for beginners at an affordable price.

First step for a beginner is learning how to hold it. Its also important that a beginner knows all the parts of the guitar and what they do. Guitars usually have tuning keys, a neck, sound hole, bridge and saddle among other things. Learners need to learn the music jargon like chord and music sheet at the very beginning to minimize frustrations once the real lessons start.

Learning how to sit or stand when playing it is something that should be emphasized. Learners may adapt the postures taken by other good players, which may later lead to back problems, and other health related problems. Leaning forward while playing is not necessarily the best posture but it is what many players. When a player can reach the neck of the guitar without stretching other body muscles then good posture is achieved. However, if a player experiences pain in the hands, wrists back etc then the body posture could be wrong.

Learning how to play the guitar should be a fun experience. It is very easy for a learner to give up halfway through the lesson when the lessons seem tough. It is, therefore, advisable for the lessons to be presented in a fun yet challenging mode to encourage the learner and assure them to take one lesson as a step to more learning.
