new student Checklist:
-
The annual supply fee pays for the student’s guitar strap, student’s team shirt, class supplies/equipment, graduation pin, recital venue rental, recital refreshments, and prizes during the recital performance.
Each student in Guitar 1, 2, 3, or 4 requires a supply fee. If paying for multiple student supply fees up front is difficult, please contact me and we can pay this over time.
#2. Download Guitar Pro mobile app
Do not create a MySongBook account. We do not use this.
-
Because we're reading sheet music, bigger screens are ideal. I recommend putting Guitar Pro Mobile on a tablet/iPad for home practice if you have one. If you do not have a tablet, students can use a phone.
#3. Download Discord mobile app
-
To submit homework, students will record video and submit over Discord. Recording from a phone will make sending video simple.
Child Internet safety is our top priority. Our server is a private community not accessible to the public. One account can be logged in simultaneously across many devices, allowing parent’s to monitor their child’s conversations and activity. Please help us keep our community safe by monitoring your child’s Discord activity and reporting anything of concern.

I recommend practicing 20-30 minutes a day, 3-4 days a week:
2-3 minutes - Warm-up with your finger exercises (Hill Climb, Fret Jumping, Etc.)
Remaining Time - Practice song sections, team challenges, and personal challenges.
Note: Parents help your child create a consistent practice schedule that repeats every week. This will help develop a routine and good practice habits!

Calendar Explained:
Typically, we have about 4 lessons each month. However, uneven months, holidays, and recreation/store closures complicate the calendar. To simplify this, I’ve done this math for the whole year:
Fall League - 4 lessons per month x 9 months = 36 total lessons.
Winter League - 4 lessons per month x 7 months - 28 total lessons.
Though some months like December will be short, these missed lesson days will be made up by longer months over the course of the year. This means that tuition will always be $100 per month - even if there are 2 lessons in a month - and greatly simplifies billing. I’m happy to explain this in person if it doesn’t make sense.
-
You will receive an invoice in your email at the beginning of each month. Expect the email from Super Guitar Teams/Stripe. If you don’t see it, please check your spam folder.
For your convenience, automated billing is available after making your first payment and adding a payment method to your account. If you are interested, please ask me (Tyler) to set this up for you!
You can access your account here.

Stores typically charge $30 for a complete restringing, even if you only need one string replaced. I can replace one string or multiple strings if you leave the guitar with me after class. Then we can arrange a pickup time or I can bring the guitar with me to your next class. Click here to purchase string repair.
