Guitar Center Columbia 253 Park Terrace Dr. Columbia, SC
Hi, I'm Emauri! I'm a guitarist, recording music artist, producer and content creator making anything related to guitar. I've been teaching guitar for several years and have performed shows all throughout my time studying Economics and Film at College of Charleston. I received my first guitar as a gift for my 10th birthday and have been shredding since. I've always loved making original music so when I went off to college, the first thing I purchased was recording equipment. I'm a lover of all types of music (country not as much) but I specialize in modern rock, metal, and chill instrumentals (including lofi and R&B). I understand that in order to learn anything, you have to enjoy it so after the fundamentals are grasped, I like to teach the styles and techniques that get you closer to the goals you want to achieve. Emauri Has been teaching at Guitar Center since 2023.

Frequently Asked Questions
Each instructor customizes lessons to ensure you are learning what you like and having fun. Your instructor will start you slowly, introducing new concepts each week, plus give you exercises or easy songs to play to keep you learning at home.
Learning an instrument is an enriching and rewarding experience that creates lifelong benefits, including increased self-esteem and the boosting of memory. Additionally, benefits for school-age individuals can include improved coordination, the expanding of social skills, and higher scores in math, reading and language.
30-minute lessons allow young or beginner students to learn the basics of the instrument and start playing songs. 60-minute lessons are ideal for more advanced students looking to progress faster and focus on the finer points of technique.
This varies by age and the type of goals the student has set out to achieve. However, most new students usually spend 15–30 min. practicing daily, while advanced students can practice for an hour or more each day in between lessons.
Our flexible curriculum allows students of all skill levels to experience growth. We help create a foundational understanding of music theory through the style of music you want to play. Our instructors will work to understand your goals and passions, and make sure you are on the path to learning what you want at your own speed.
Our Lessons staff will work with you to determine your current skill level, stylistic interest and ambitions. We'll then help you choose an instructor who best suits your style and goals. If at any point, you'd like to change instructors, let us know. Our weekly monitoring of progress and wide-ranging curriculum means you can switch to any of our qualified instructors, or another instrument, without missing a beat.
