Guitar lessons. Guitar performance.
I have been teaching guitar since 1996. In that time, I have taught students in 3 states. I have served on the faculty of 5 private academies and 3 colleges, often concurrently. I am now the owner of my own private academy in Broomfield, CO.
I earned my Master of Music degree in classical guitar from the prestigious music program at the University of North Texas. I teach all skill levels and all styles. In addition to private lessons, I offer small group lessons, and online lessons. Further details are below, but for pricing information please contact me by phone or email, as rates may sometimes change for new incoming students.
Private lessons: Typically 30 to 60 minutes per lesson, once per week. You will have access to help from me all week long by phone or through email. I encourage my private students to ask questions between lessons. I'm your teacher all week, not just during your lesson.
I taylor the lessons to the individual, but I always include music theory and emphasize strong technique in my methods.
Group lessons: A good option for parent / child tandem lessons. This can make for a fun family activity and will save you money over what you would spend for each family member to have private lessons. Kids between age 6 and 10 do very well in small group lessons. I offer the KidTunes guitar method, where up to 4 kids have a weekly lesson together. This is also less expensive than private lessons, and might be more fun for kids who like the peer interaction and ability to compete with their friends.
Online lessons: Technology has finally reached the point where most people have the ability to use this approach effectively. If you have a broadband internet connection, a reasonably fast computer, and a webcam, online private lessons are a good option for you. You will receive live, one on one instruction from me without having to leave your home. Is it effective? Yes it is! This is something that is relatively new but is catching on quickly. Some of the benefits of this option are...
- Stay home for your lessons. No fighting traffic or weather.
- You can record the lesson right on your computer for later reference
- Varying camera angles from me will show you how your technique should look from all directions. In other words, you can see exactly what I see when I look down at my hands.
My studio is located at the J.A.M. Music Conservatory located at 1006 Depot Hill Rd. in Broomfield, CO. Give me a call. 303-427-0547 or email me at info@jamconservatory.com
Lessons with Kevin Johnson
STUDENT REVIEWS
"Kevin is a wonderful teacher. He has been unbelievably patient. He isn't just my teacher on my appt days but every day of the week. I am very happy with what I have learned so far and would recommend him to everyone."
--- Sheryl P.
"Before taking lessons from Kevin, I was extremely frustrated with my lack of progress and inability to meet my own expectations. Kevin was not only able to help alleviate that frustration, but channel it into measurable progress while continually stretching my goals as a player. I'm convinced that this is due as much to his personality as it is his broad range of experience with, and appreciation for, different styles, genres, techniques and even philosophies of music. From the novice to the professional, he's your guy."
