What do guitar lessons involve?

BEGINNER GUITAR

Beginner guitar students of all ages will learn how to read standard and tab notation, play melodies and chords, and improvise. All students are highly encouraged to bring recordings of their favorite songs, band, or players to better direct their lessons for ultimate enjoyment. Method books will likely be supplemented to ensure a well-rounded musical development.

INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED GUITAR

Guitar lessons for intermediate to advanced students will focus on expanding technique, repertoire, theory, and learning to transcribe. Intermediate students are typically graduated out of using method books as they start to learn more complex pieces of music.

ADULT GUITAR

Want to learn guitar as an adult? No problem! Our guitar teachers can help give you the skills, knowledge, and confidence to take out your guitar and play your favorite songs for family and friends. It’s never the wrong time to learn to play a musical instrument. Inquire about adult guitar lessons today!

Ukulele, Bass, Mandolin, & Lute Lessons

Want to learn a string instrument that isn't the guitar? The ukulele is also a great instrument for kids and adults to learn. They are affordably priced and easier to play than a guitar. Ukulele lessons are a fun way for younger kids to get started before taking guitar lessons. All of our guitar teachers provide ukulele lessons. Many also offer additional instruments such as bass, lute, mandolin, and more! Be sure to ask us about availability if you are interested in those instruments.
