Lessons

Our goal is to provide students with a positive experience in music education.  We encourage an appreciation of music and musicians and foster a desire to play to the best of their ability.

McKinney Guitar Studio uses various study materials developed by John Wynn. These include "Playing the Guitar" method book 1 and 2, the "Fingerstyle Sketches Series 1-10", the "Ensemble Studies", the "Classical Repertoire" book 1 and 2, "Igniting the Blues", and various solo guitar arrangements by Chet Atkins, John Knowles, The Beatles and other artists.

“I love the way Mr. John teaches.  He teaches in a style that makes you want to learn.” – Preetam, 11

“John has been very supportive of Dylan, and in turn, Dylan is devoted to his instruction.  I feel fortunate that Dylan has found a passion outside of his school activities.” -Bryan Ward, student’s father

Beginning students are taught to read music and count rhythm.  They will recognize all aspects of music notation, and are introduced to varying styles of music through discussion and listening.  Students are also encouraged to participate in fun group activities.

Advanced students are encouraged to assist in writing arrangements and participate in workshops featuring out of town artists that are sponsored by the studio.

Both daytime and evening lessons are available Monday through Thursday.  Please call the studio at 972-832-1646 for available times.
