About Kohl
Hi, my name is Kohl Aldjo and I’m a graduate of Jacob’s School of Music at Indiana University. My earliest memory of falling in love with sound was when I was 4 years old and had a record called “Instruments of the Orchestra”. By the time I was 6 I knew the only thing I wanted to do was play guitar and create music! Now, I’ve been playing guitar for more than 30 years and have over 20 years teaching experience.
Kohl’s Instructional Approach
As a teacher, I have a very straight forward, ‘easy to progress’ approach that works great with any age of student ranging from beginning to advanced levels in the styles of Acoustic, Electric, Finger Picking, Blues, Rock, Folk, Slide Guitar, Classical, & Celtic Fingerstyle. We’ll always have fun and before you know it you’ll understand the fretboard and be playing everything from AC/DC to Fleetwood Mac!
Practice Tips
“Practice makes perfect” is only half of the equation. Only “Perfect practice, makes perfect”. One of my practice techniques is slowing down tempo of songs to ensure technique and timing. Speed will come. But sloppiness is hard to fix after it’s been engrained.
