Yes, I teach Music Theory. My session starts with a very brief check on dexterity by allowing the student to demonstrate exercises or scales. Then Music Theory discussion, depending on the topic (C Major Scale, Chord Construction, Improvisation Approach, etc.). Last would be application of the theory. As much as possible, this would be learning through song. eg. Jazz Improvisation using Fly Me To The Moon as a platform to study improvement.
It would depend on the topic or genre. For classical guitar lessons, a classical guitar, foot stool, metronome (analog or digital), music stand. For rock / metal lead guitar, electric guitar, cables, gadgets, amp, metronome (analog or digital), music stand. If online class, a laptop or tablet and earphones/headphones is required.
Preferably 10 years old and up. A junior guitar with nylon strings if possible or a lighter style electric guitar. My approach is providing exercises to develop strenght and dexterity for fingers then teach simple and familiar songs such as twinkle, twinkle little star, happy birthday, ode to joy.
