TEACHING

By lorindrexler

JSR_0040Hi there and thanks for visiting! I have been playing guitar, ukulele, singing, writing, and producing music for the greater part of my life. My endeavor is to guide you to an understanding of one or many of these facets and give you the tools you need to become your own teacher as you continue down this path.

Below is a brief synopsis about my teaching methods:

Guitar/Ukulele/Songwriting
There will be very little music theory. I never needed much of it to write my own music, other than a few basic theories to get around successfully, so it’s not something we’ll spend a whole lot of time on. I have organized and constructed a course book to keep things lively and moving along efficiently. I call it NOTEbOOK. It’s great refresher material to revisit in the future as well.

I teach basic guitar & ukulele with professional appeal and rhythmic structure. My intention is to guide you to play cover songs and create your own original music using straightforward techniques. My goal, once we part ways, is for you to be independently confident playing other artist’s music and/or leave with an original song and be equipped to write on your own.

For our lessons, you will need:

  • a pen or pencil
  • a notebook
  • an instrument tuner
  • an acoustic guitar or ukulele (or an electric if you have a small amp)

Audio Engineering/Music Production
Though I graduated in high standings from SAE Institute of Technology in New York City for audio engineering, and have the knowledge and technical skillset of an engineer, I teach basic principles on a need-to-know basis. I never needed much training to produce my own music, other than a handful of simple theories, so it’s not something we’ll go deep into. I teach beginner engineering along with music composition, songwriting & song structure, and how to bring your tracks to life. This is more suited for artists that want to learn how to record, mix, produce, and expand their creativity in a recorded format. My intention is to guide you to produce your own original music using straightforward techniques. My goal, once we part ways, is for you to leave with a produced song and be equipped to produce on your own.

What you will need (which we can discuss affordable options if you’re interested): Apple Computer, DAW (Ableton/Logic), A/D Converter (Interface), Midi Controller, Studio Monitors, and pertinent cables.

PS. I was passed along this info to share with the ukulele community... for those that might be interested in hosting an international exchange student with a similar interest as yours:

Good Afternoon!

ASSE International Student Exchange Program is currently placing our high school international exchange students who are scheduled to arrive in August/September 2020-21 with host families across the U.S.

In this group of extraordinary students is a young man from Thailand named Pumpitat. One of Pum's hobbies is playing the ukulele! In addition to singing and perform music he can play several other instruments. This teen enjoys sports, drawing, basketball, and reading.

Below is a profile of Pumpitat. Could you please share Pum's profile with the individuals connected to the musical community or those who enjoy playing the ukulele in your community?  We would love to place Pum with a wonderful family who has similar interests, and who can fully support him during his exchange program.

Feel free to forward this email.

Anyone who is interested in learning more about our program and how they can host Pumpitat for the 2020/21 school year can contact me at 480-452-9958 or email me at darcel@asse.com. You can also check us out at www.assehosts.com.
