Lead Cat Press: Music Education for Guitarists

TESTIMONIALS:

Adam Levy, Recording Artist and Composer: Whether you're an avid student or a dedicated teacher, I'd recommend The Guitar Lesson Companion, Volume One as a keystone of your practice.

Jason, Student: She gracefully strikes a balance between patience and expecting her students to do their best. I tried a couple other teachers and realized they didn’t have any real method to their teaching; it was as if every class they were just winging it. Not Susan. She’s created a remarkable (and challenging) guitar study program that is also very enjoyable.

Lyle Brewer, Faculty at Berklee College of Music: If you’re interested in learning how to play guitar in a way that would get you ready for music school or if you’re a guitar teacher looking for a book for your students, I can’t recommend The Guitar Lesson Companion enough.

Jakob, Student: In my case her method has succeeded where years of private lessons, self-study, and a university program failed. As someone who has had a greater-than-average number of instructors, I count her among the very best.

Mark Goldenberg, guitarist/composer/producer: The Guitar Lesson Companion is so well put together and has become an invaluable aid for getting my students to learn to read notes, decipher written rhythms, and to learn the entire fretboard.

Bess, Student: Susan's structured approach feels very grounded and comfortable, and the way she holds me kindly and firmly accountable to practice has pushed me to grow and be more confident in my playing. She is probably the most brilliant teacher you will ever meet.
