Private Lessons
Working directly with Mr. Kritzer will allow the student to have his or her needs met directly and efficiently. First the student’s technical needs will be defined and if need be reorganized. Other subjects will follow in order of importance, such as; sight reading, repertoire development, practice habits, theory, musicianship, music memorization and performance skills. Private students will have first access to group workshops which can help supplement the work done in private lessons. Lessons are available in person or remotely via Skype and offered for one hour, every two weeks. Students will leave each lesson with clear directives and a practice plan for the following two weeks and in most cases written and video instruction.
As an adult self taught guitarist I found Scott’s instruction to be critical in filling in the gaps in my technique, interpretative skills and general musicianship. I’ve dramatically improved my understanding of music, fundamental skills, consistency and performance capability. Michael Gover
Who would benefit
While I believe that my teaching method would benefit every player it certainly isn’t for every temperment. So what kind of temperment would benefit from this method? This information tends to be best assimilated by those of you who, despite hard work, frustrated with a lack of progress.
Requirements
I am happy to work with students of all levels, from absolute beginners to professionals. But one must possess patience and discipline. While the material can be challenging to understand it’s relatively easy to learn so whatever your talent I can help you reach your potential.
Contact Scott directly for availability.

What about Wednesday, after 3 pm?
Scott
Im interested in taking private lessons. Monday through Thursday in the afternoon is best for me. Please contact me with any information on the classes.
Thank you,
Chris.
Chris,
I’ve got some times on Mondays and Tuesdays, (early to late afternoon spots). I’d suggest we set up an informal time that may or may not be a regular time. I’d like to know what your looking for and see if we’re a good match. I’ve got a great studio of fun students – hope you become one of them!
Let me know what might work.
Thanks,
Scott
Could you please tell me your lesson prices (hope it’s not impolite to ask somebody with your reputation that)
I’m a full-time Soldier in Vancouver, WA needing help w/ my CG hobby; I’m hitting walls. The one thing that is keeping me going is the Shearer scale book; I can see finally see where many of the notes are. I am grateful to one of your teachers for taking the time to build a scale exercise book for us.
Jason,
Not impolite at all – thanks for writing. Hitting walls is very common and I’ll be able to give you great advice as well as a long term way of managing your practice, your growth and musical experience. First, we’d start with technique. You can check out more information here about my approach. In addition to the private time I’ll send you assignments mid-week. All materials have written instructions, a video-taped introduction and practice-along-with-Scott videos.
I charge $80.00 per hour, two lessons per month. There is a cash discount. All above mentioned materials come with that fee.
Jason, I’d be happy to meet with you in person to go over all potential questions before you decide.
Thanks and thanks for your service!
Yours,
Scott
