Robert Smith Classical Guitar Lessons, Harrisburg

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
I take my time with each lesson and focus on the individual needs of each student, going at a pace that is best suited for their success. I do not progress on to the next lesson until there is a complete understanding and a comfort level is met.

Do you provide any materials? What should your students expect to bring?
Andres Segovia's study of diatonic major and minor scales, Mauro Giuliani's 120 studies for right hand development, along with Frederick Noad's Solo Guitar Playing lesson books. Students are required to bring a nylon string guitar.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
My goal, as a teacher, is to help students learn to practice effectively and efficiently in order to develop the necessary form to build and maintain muscle stamina which will improve and maintain high-level musical skills.

What do you love most about your job?
It is all about having fun. No pressure. No hassles. No hurry. Just simply relax and have fun. It is true what they say - practice does make perfect. But perfection cannot be achieved quickly. By relaxing and taking things slow, you will excel more quickly, and more importantly - correctly!
