GUITAR LESSONS AT EMORY UNIVERSITY

Spring Semester 2026 enrollment for private guitar lessons is underway and will end on Jan. 26 or until limited space is filled.  If you would like to enroll in private guitar lesson (MUS310R) for fall semster 2025 semester please reach out to me ASAP: lenloe@emory.edu

1 credit guitar lessons at Emory University (MUS310R) are designed to meet you where you are and help you progress from there, with a focus on four key areas of development: musical literacy (reading notation), understanding fretboard harmony, technical development, and repertoire (songs or pieces that are at, or just above, your current ability level). Initially, lessons emphasize fingerstyle playing and reading notation, but as you advance, we can explore a wide range of musical styles and techniques.

  • While there is an audition requirement, think of the audition more as a consultation. Both beginners and advanced players are welcome.
  • Lessons meet weekly for 50 minutes in the Burlington Road Building.
  • Success in the course requires 45 minutes to 1 hour of daily practice, 5–6 days a week.
  • Registration for MUS 310R is unique and takes place during the Add/Drop period at the beginning of the Fall 2025 semester.
    • If you are interested in enrolling, contact me and I will add you to my list of potential students and will follow up with you in the fall.

 I am also available for lessons in my private studio. Please see my private studio page and contact me though this website if interested.

Student Testimonials:

Dr. Enloe is a fantastic teacher, and I’ve made a lot of progress in the past few months. He has a great eye for detail and helped me correct several long-standing habits in my technique. As an engineering student who plays for the love of it, I especially appreciate how he explains the musical purpose behind each exercise and etudes, making music easy to understand. He is particularly encouraging and supportive when I get stuck on a difficult piece. I feel like my playing is more confident and enjoyable than ever before, and I truly recommend him!

Qizhi Lu

Dr. Enloe is a wonderful instructor who has mastered not only performance but also how to teach. He can tailor the particular instruction out of his expertise and experience in guitar: he knows how to set ground for beginners (just like me), implementing good habits from the onset; for those that are more advanced and having specific genre/pieces in mind, he also knows how to approach these step by step. I am glad that Dr. Enloe is my first music teacher, from him I’ve learnt more than how to play guitar. I recommend his class to all people who want to make music, especially guitar, part of their life.

Again, thank you so much and it’s been a pleasure to study music with you.

Best,

Weiyang
