I'm Randal Toma, a local Guitar Teacher/Performer.
I've been teaching since I was 15, and playing since I was 7.

All this experience has been focused into a method of teaching that is
fun, easy to grasp, and "makes sense."

If you want to just learn chords, and how to play your favorite songs, that's fine...
or if you want to learn how to read TAB and standard notation, how to build chords,
basic progressions & changes, or solo classical guitar
....that's an option too.


I'll show you "how" & "why" it works, ...not just the 'what' & 'where' (any book can do that!).

"Notes" on GUITAR LESSONS

I basically teach a beginner course; and your progress will depend on how much time you are able to spend on the fretboard (practice) between lessons. It is a concentrated 'core' course on the fundamentals, drawing on my 36 years of teaching, and 44 years of playing.

Many points and observations are the results of conclusions drawn from decades of experience, which I call "A-ha!" moments. These are concepts that came to me 'after the fact,' -which I'd wish were explained, or pointed out to me on the front end, saving me time and therefore speeding my progress and understanding! Usually these "secrets" are not found in print, or on Internet guitar sites. Why? - I don't know!

I've always believed that learning guitar is just like learning a new language, coupled with a new set of specific skills. I don't put a whole lot of stock in "Talent." It's an applied skill. Like learning Spanish, or practicing woodworking, or ballroom dancing. They can all be 'compartmentalized' into a subset of manageable skill-set groupings.

I've just been doing it a long time (44 years!) -and was taught by 3 Very Good teachers. My first was the premier cellist in North America, Mr. Pappalardo. My main teacher, G. Ricardo Fusco, was an authentic Spanish flamenco professional, and a graduate of the great Andre Segovia. Then, I had a year of quality instruction at The University of Memphis with Wayne Reynolds.

Because I know what works, and what's important, I can offer you the benefit of my decades of trial & error, and save you time in growth and development. I just want to get students started off with the right foundation, and let them explore from there. Some continue with me, to learn further skills, and others enjoy what they learned, and have fun with their new abilities.

But most teachers bore students to death with endless drills that lead nowhere, teaching songs like "Red River Valley", or "Aura Lee" -songs they learned in 1963. Basically amounting to nothing more than turning pages in a book! It's so much more effective to teach "current songs," or ones that the student WANTS to learn! But whatever style of music is pursued, certain basics are essential.

And, they want you to be the equivalent of a Mechanical Engineer,
when all you want to know is How To Drive A Car!
__________________________________________________________________________
-> -> Here is the main approach I take with lessons:

Basically, no one these days is interested in learning how to 'read' -
that is, reading real sheet music (standard notation.) That takes a long
time with a lot of practice, exercises, drills, requiring advanced
techniques and more complex forms of music. If I were beginning to learn
today, I wouldn't want to take that route either. But there is a
simplified form of music notation called "TAB," which is what I use to
enable the students to learn new songs.

It is the fastest way to get your fingers on the fretboard and make progress!

My method allows the new student to learn the fundamentals of music as
it applies to the guitar, including strings, notes, chords, TAB, and basic
chord patterns and progressions. Also, how to perform common techniques
that apply to the left hand on the fretboard, and the right hand single-
note picking and strumming methods.

Later, after becoming comfortable and familiar with the fretboard, chords, and basic patterns, some students opt to continue with learning standard notation and right-hand finger-picking techniques.

My approach is to empower the new student to be able to have a foundation to build from. I do not believe in endless lessons, year after year. Actually my goal is to "make myself obsolete!" That's one reason my lessons are one hour long, instead of 30 minutes like everyone else. I want to shorten the learning curve between a beginner, and a guitar player.

Without having to learn how to read standard notation (regular sheet music), the basics I teach would require
anywhere from 9 months - 1 yr., depending on the student and their natural abilities, and how much time they have to dedicate to it. This would provide a solid foundation to be able to enjoy playing songs they already like, as well as be able to learn new ones on their own. They would understand how to play notes and chords, how to build new chords, and how to hear basic progressions. They would be familiar with common techniques and styles, and have a solid grounding in knowing how to play a song cleanly, clearly and evenly.

You will even be able to turn on the radio and be able to determine what key the song is in, and therefore know what chords are likely to be played!! I will show you how!!

My course enables the student to have a good, clear foundation to build on.

They will have the skills and fundamental knowledge to advance on their own, and be able to progress and enjoy playing the guitar for as long as they choose. They will also be able to better understand and appreciate the music they like now, and in the future.

How do you feel about this?
