About Will Doughty

- Will used to come to the house on Saturdays to do lessons with both Rowena and Navin and in 2020, we had to pivot and do it online instead. Will is extremely effective teaching guitar online. Will provides his full attention to the student and keeps them engaged throughout the class.

- You can tell that Will enjoys working with kids and has a true passion for guitar and bringing music into people's homes

- Will makes guitar learning fun - he is creative in teaching specific guitar techniques through music kids are interested in learning

- Will is a very patient teacher and brings a ton of energy to each lesson and is genuinely interested in progress of the student

- The kids have been working with Will since 2018

- Rowena used to play the violin before the guitar and Will was able to leverage her skills from playing the violin to enable a smoother transition to playing the guitar. Rowena also continued to improve her ability to read music while working with Will. - The Smith Family (students since ages 8 

By my second lesson, we were already learning chords to the songs I wanted to play. Most classes take the first several months just teaching chords and drills. Also, he is watching you play live so if you are doing anything wrong he can correct you, or if you are having difficulty he can modify it.

My ability to switch from chords, finger strength, and my finger dexterity has improved by outstanding leaps and bounds. 

How long have you been taking lessons with Will Doughty?

Two or three months.
