About Isaac

Bloomington- Normal Guitar Lessons goes beyond teaching guitar to mentoring students in their musical journey and training them to use what they learn in practical musical contexts. I believe, however, that people are multi-dimesnional and that students recieve the greatest benefit when they grow in a holistic way-musically and personally. In essence, the guitar lessons are a vehicle to help my students become more free, authentic, and empowered people (as well as musicians). I share my personal and musical experiences and the wisdom of mentors from various fields to help students acheive their musical goals and experience a more rewarding relationship with themselves and their world.

I believe that music is a vital necessity in everyone's life. In my own life, music has been an invaluable tool that has allowed me to create visceral, tangible connections with musicians and listeners alike - people from different cultures, with countless personal experiences, and unique stories. I also believe that every one is born with greatness inside of them, and that our lives are a mission to discover and embody our unique greatness. Teaching others how to play guitar gives me the privelidge to help them grow into their unique greatness as people and musicians.

About the lesson

People interested in studying with me call me to complete a short assessment over the phone and schedule a free, no-cost introductory lesson. In that time, we explore their musical goals and what they would love to see most from guitar lessons. We have a hands-on guitar lesson (whether that is a beginner's first lesson ever, or a more experienced guitar player needing some help on a particular technique). After we determine that we are a good match, I develop a personalized lesson plan for the student so we know what to do to reach their unique goals.

In my own guitar playing experience, these factors have proven crucial to my longterm growth and satisfaction as a musician. I highly encourage you to seek out a teacher who embodies these traits.

Choose a teacher who:

-Asks about and genuinely cares about your specific musical goals.

-Has proven with other students (or at least is willing to prove) that they are committed to teaching, training, and mentoring you to reach your musical goals.

-Offers a wide variety of lesson formats and materials that allow you to get the most out of your lessons in a variety of ways. (It's best if the teacher also offers "coaching sessions" that show you how to actually use what you are learning)

-Is NOT the cheapest teacher in your area. Teachers who consistently get good results for their students are typically a bit more costly than other teachers, but this also means that because you'll be getting better results faster, you will unltimately pay less in the long run. If you want better results and more value, be willing to invest in yourself and pay a little more.

In December 2017 I released a live class called "Total Guitar Chord Domination" which is geared toward helping beginners and more experienced guitarists identify and solve common chord playing problems. I'm proud of the progress the participants made both at the class and in the weeks since. Consistent updates will be made to make the class even better, and I'm also considering expanding it to include multiple sessions.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Just begin thinking about what style of music you want to play (I teach Rock and Classic Rock styles) and seek out teachers who teach that style. Also, make a list of questions that you want to ask prospective teachers. Interviewing them to see if they are the best fit for you and your goals will help you make an informed decision that you will be happy with.

Isaac Abbey is a kind, down to earth, and patient individual. He takes time to make a connection with his students to ensure a quality music lesson. He puts in a lot of time and effort to formulate individual lesson plans to meet the needs of the student regardless of skill level. I've learned so much from him during my lessons. I enjoy the laid back, reassuring atmosphere. I also really like the mix between learning songs, technique, and musical theory. Isaac teaches guitar in a way that you will not find in music stores, so if you want to learn guitar please contact him!

If you're interested in learning how to play guitar i highly recommend lessons from Isaac Abbey [Peoria-Area Guitar Lessons], he's a great guitar player and an awesome person! He breaks down every aspect of guitar playing with a fun and unique approach so you really get quick and positive results! I've been playing guitar already for a couple years and i even play rhythm guitar in a band, my first lesson with Isaac he started with the basics from the beginning even though I have a couple years of experience and I'm already noticing a difference! I highly recommend him to anyone whether you're just picking up a guitar for the first time or been playing for years! You will quickly notice a difference in your ability!

I offer a diverse pricing system for lessons. These vary based upon how often a student takes lessons and what kinds of lessons they are currently enrolled in (private lessons, doubles, triples, and/or group). While the rates themselves are fixed with respect to the lesson type and frequency, lesson cost can vary from student to student. I review each student's unique situation and recommend what options are best for them based upon their goals, budget concerns, time availability, and even their personality.
