Fingerstyle Guitar, Music Theory, & More…

I’ve been inspired by so many musicians and I’ve always been fascinated by what is going on in their heads while they are playing or writing. This guitar workshop is all about getting into my Melody Bird brain and to add all my tricks to your bag.

One to Two Hour Workshop

This workshop will start out lecture style, but will evolve into groups and one-on-one instruction. Take the time to learn, get your questions answered, and actually play out what we are talking about.

Adult and Teens

It’s never too late to learn guitar. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard from my students how refreshing it is to take a break from the week and to just make some music.

Learn Your Favorite Songs and Write or Arrange Your Own

Ever wanted to get under the hood of your favorite songs? Wish you could create your own version of a Beatles song? Have a melody or some lyrics stuck in your head that you want to put chords to? I’ll be right there with you to do it all.

Learn How to Improvise and Jam

In my opinion, the two most important things for any music is to, one, learn to play songs from start to finish, and two, to be able to jam, improvise, and communicate musically with other musicians. I can have you taking guitar solos within your first couple of lessons.

Learn Theory in Context

Learning theory can get stuffy and intimidating really quick. Rather than teach songs and theory separately, I do my best to integrate the two together. When you learn a song in the key of G, we will learn about the key of G at the same time. You can see an example of that in my video series Coloring in the Open Chords. Check out this video on the Key of G.

Melody is the absolute best instructor I've ever had over the years. She was able to teach me new techniques, reach the... basics I'd long since forgotten, and develop a teaching regimen that suited my tastes. She was always able to explain why and how the musical techniques fit into song making and development and had no problem teaching me more than the playing aspect of the instrument but also music theory behind it all. If I ever was able to pick up guitar again I would go back to her in a heartbeat!read more

I have learned more and enjoyed playing with her so much it is hard to explain. As a teacher she seems to know exactly... what I need to learn and makes it an interesting challenge. She could not be a better teacher, she makes me want to be a better player. I don't know a better player. Wonderful to know someone that enjoys playing as much as she does.read more

I have known and have been listening to Melody Bird’s guitar playing for many years. As an accomplished guitarist, she... has such a wide array of musical styles that will always please. As an instructor, her talents convey artistry, patience, and passion, tailor-made to the uniqueness of her students. She doesn’t just teach guitar. She creates an envisionment beyond the lessons!!!read more

I have found Melody's lessons display her talents as a finger picking guitarist coupled with her special ability to... explain music theory and guitar technique. She has helped my own guitar playing immensely. I am l playing better, and I am better understand what I am doing. Keep these lessons coming, Melody, and thank you!read more

Michelle is an excellent teacher! I’ve been taking lessons with her over a year and have improved in a lot of areas.... Often I like a song and she’ll show me how to play the melody finger style and/or how the artist plays it on the album, and the theory behind the structure all within the hour. She’s super flexible, kind, funny and patient - you never feel self-conscious learning guitar with her or like you’re just another annoying student.read more
