Cassandra F., Guitar Teacher, Chicago
(773) 360-0204
About Me:
My personal philosophy of teaching is to meet the student where they are. What method to use depends on what the student wants to learn as well as how they learn. Not everyone learns music in traditional ways nor at the same pace, so it is important to keep students interested in what they do. This might mean taking a more creative or "non"-traditional approach to teaching. It is important to create opportunities for students to be successful in what they learn and in how they learn so that they will continue to grow and be successful.

Guitars can be constructed to meet the demands of both left and right-handed players. Traditionally the dominant hand is assigned the task of plucking or strumming the strings.
