Robert L. — Acoustic Guitar Teacher — Bloor West Village, Toronto

Hello, my name is Robert LaBell. I have been involved in private music instruction since 1985. My experience includes acoustic, electric and 12 string guitars. My other instruments include mandolin and ukulele. I offer in person sessions in my studio and I have a number of students who study with me online. These are high end online sessions in real time with no internet lag. I gear all my sessions around the individual with the understanding that everyone learns differently. My objective is to have everyone experience the joy of playing music and to feel the grounding quality’s of the vibration of a musical instrument.

We stay focused on the composition from the previous week. My objective is to connect one session to the next, keep in mind we are learning a language. For example if we learn a strumming pattern for a number of songs I would aim to variate it as many ways as possible. Another example would be if we are learning fingerstyle guitar compositions, we would aim for as many variations as possible once we get the basics down.
