FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS, CLEAR STRUCTURE, ACCOUNTABILITY
ALL GUITAR LESSONS & SMALL GROUP CLASSES ARE ONLINE, DUE TO COVID-19

Susan Palmer taught at Seattle University from 2006 - 2018

I’m a little different than other guitar instructors because I teach the fundamentals of music using a clear structure that I tailor to each student’s goals and learning style.

Students develop a strong skill set to use in all kinds of musical situations, and many of my students perform all over the country, in various styles, earning their living from music.

I wrote The Guitar Lesson Companion method book series to help make teaching and learning the fundamentals of music easier and more effective, and today thousands of guitarists use these books!

Maybe you’ve hit a plateau, your guitar lessons lack the structure you need, or you are a complete beginner and you want to build solid foundation. Use this method book series with me, your current teacher, or with my free online guitar course to get more out of your guitar.

NOTE: I transitioned my Capitol Hill Guitar Studio in Seattle online, due to the pandemic. I continue to offer lessons via FaceTime/Skype, and I'm now located in Augusta, Maine.
