Experienced tutor in Guitar in Bloomington, Sharla offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Sharla June is personable and has done a beautiful job of connecting with my daughter in guitar lessons. Not only has my daughter’s guitar playing expanded, but she also has another trusted adult who sees and cares about her. I’m grateful for Sharla’s support.

I started taking lessons with Sharla in 5th grade. I took lessons with her for three years. These lessons included solid rhythm guitar, singing and playing at the same time (which is harder than Sharla makes it look), and singing lead and harmony across a variety of genres. Sharla was the first step on my musical journey, and I couldn't have had asked for a better first teacher. Sharla has a wonderful way of breaking down even complicated musical concepts and techniques, like barre chords or harmony, and making them approachable. Her one-of-a-kind passion for music, her truly infectious spunk, her wealth of knowledge from years and years of performing, and her natural ability to teach made every second of every lesson enjoyable. Even when I was frustrated with a skill, more often than not, she found a way to make that 30 minutes worth it. And, what's more, she knows how to make you a better musician and have fun with you at the same time. You inevitably have to practice on your own under any music teacher, but Sharla really knows how to balance work and play. She is a master at setting goals and holding you to them, but she also knows the value of letting loose and just simply rocking out. I do not remember an incredible amount of specifics from my middle school days, but it is safe to say that if nothing else, Sharla instilled a love of creating music in me unlike any other and became a life-long friend in the process. If you are looking for a new teacher, please consider Sharla June. You'll be glad you did.

My daughter took guitar lessons from Sharla for several years. And though she learned how to play the guitar beautifully, she learned so much more than that! She learned to sing beautiful harmony and to appreciate many different genres of music. I appreciated Sharla's approach to teaching, which was not overly book-based. Children pick up the theory and other aspects of learning music so much more quickly when they know how and love to play.

Sharla is a wonderful teacher!

Sharla was fun a personable! We were still able to have quality lessons virtually when meeting in-person wasn’t a good idea.Sharla based her lessons to the interest of my son.

My daughter has learned how to play the ukulele through Sharla’s thorough instruction. Sharla not only teaches them the technical chords, but also music theory and rhythm lessons. She is a calm, patient instructor and you can tell she genuinely enjoys teaching her students and the time she has with them. She makes learning the songs fun! My daughter enjoys picking out music and learning songs she is interested in. I love the different genres of music my daughter gets exposed to through these lessons. We have been taking them for over year and could not be more pleased. She looks forward to her time with Sharla every week.

Sharla treated my daughter with an awesome level of care. She looked for music that my daughter was interested in. She helped her gain confidence to sing and play. Sharla is a great teacher of many subjects!
