Think About It!

Sometimes I get asked about taking lessons every few weeks, or "here or there" lessons when I am initially contacted by someone inquiring about lessons. Having been playing guitar for so long, I often take this as questionable sign of a person's commitment and problems to come if I accept them as a student once they understand my terms.
I liken it to this scenario, if you were overweight and wanted to get into shape, would you only exercise and diet every second week, or "here or there" and expect satisfying results??
Similarly, taking up an instrument requires some commitment and dedication. If you are considering taking up an instrument but are not willing to commit to a lesson time every week, I certainly would not accept you as a student, no matter how big or small your goals are. Although I can not read the future, I can guarantee that if that is your mindset, you are most likely not going to get the results you are looking for!
