Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
While studying guitar with instructor Caleb Erickson, student will improve his tone, learn different picking styles, and improve his muscle memory as well as expand his repertoire to include blues and jazz phrases.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Skylar's work noticeably improved. His chords, scales, technique, dexterity, arpeggios, picking, and speed have all matured along with his confidence on the instrument. We worked on improving his techniques for soloing and improvisation through studying a variety of techniques common to blues, jazz, and country music styles which Skylar now confidently executes.
