GUITAR / BASS / UKULELE LESSONS
(for ages five and up) Our guitar teachers teach rock, blues, metal, country and classical guitar lessons on electric and acoustic guitars. Beginner students can expect to work on chords, simple songs and melodies, sight reading and theory. We balance musicianship and fun by making sure that each lesson you are challenged with a new technical or theory concept, but always end with something fun such as your favorite riff or song. We use a variety of guitar method books to accomplish this and encourage students to bring CDs or their iPod to their lesson to learn their favorite tunes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
HOW MUCH TIME DOES IT TAKE TO LEARN TO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT?
There's no fixed answer to that question. If you practice regularly, you can reach a basic level in a few months. Most of our students keep taking lessons for a while because they enjoy it and want to keep getting better.
IS IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO ASSIST MY CHILD WITH THEIR PRACTICE, EVEN IF I LACK A MUSICAL BACKGROUND OR SKILLS?
Absolutely. Despite not having a musical background, you can consult the teacher for guidance on how to support your child's practice. By ensuring they complete their daily exercises and occasionally observing their music lessons, you can help them make progress. This way, you can gain insight into how a song should sound and how your child should position their hands.
WHAT WILL I LEARN DURING MY GUITAR LESSONS?
That question is often asked by prospective students. WE make it a priority to get to know you on a personal level and to become familiar with your personal musical needs and goals.
We do not treat every student the same in terms of what and how we teach.
A seven year old having their first violin lesson will have very different needs than a fifty seven year old taking up piano for the 2nd time after having had lessons as a child.
The main reason to choose the Academy as your music lesson provider, is that we are sensitive to the fact that every student is an individual.
If you enroll here for lessons, we will work with you to make a plan that will fit your needs and musical preferences. At the first lesson, your teacher will ask you about your favorite type of music, and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child.
