What Your Students Think of Your Guitar Teaching Materials
When a student first comes to you for lessons, they don't know how good a guitar teacher you will be. At the beginning the only thing they have to assess you on is the quality of your teaching materials. Using suitable resources for guitar teachers can improve the way your student thinks about your lessons.
If you currently hand write all your guitar lesson plans or teach out of a standard method book, it's not going to rate well in your student's mind. They will think you're inexperienced even if you aren't. When you teach straight out of a standard guitar method book, they might question whether they need you at all... they simply need the book.
Using custom guitar lesson plans allow you to create a tailor made curriculum for each individual student based on their needs.
Why Guitar Lesson Plans are The Best Resources for Guitar Teachers
The reason our guitar lesson plans are so effective is because we constantly test and improve them. Makers of guitar books barely do this at all. While it takes a year or longer to bring out a new edition for a guitar method book, we can improve our materials within an hour so they're ready for you.
Example Guitar Lesson Plan: In the below picture you can see an example of a typical lesson plan available.
The page to the left is the learning material you print and give to your student. It covers everything they need to know about a certain topic (in this case, how to use a guitar slide).
The page on the right is the 'teacher's guide' and gives you a complete breakdown on how to teach the content effectively. Whether you use the teacher's guide or not is up to you, the point is you will have everything you need to teach the material effectively.

Our range is constantly growing with new materials so you will never run out of content for your students.
Using Worksheets to Develop Your Student's Understanding
As well as guitar lesson plans, we provide worksheets for your students to take home and work on. Worksheets are a great way to test your student's understanding of topics you have covered. If your student has trouble answering one particular worksheet, then you know to spend a bit more time covering that topic.
Example worksheet: the worksheet shown below (on the left) requires your student to identify the notes in both Standard Notation and Guitar TAB. The student simply fills in their answers on the worksheet then you can use the answer key (on the right) to score your student's results.
