Guitar Lessons
(AGES FIVE AND UP)
Overview
Our guitar instructors teach rock, blues, metal, country and classical styles on both electric and acoustic guitars. Beginners work on chords, simple songs and melodies, sight reading and theory. Each lesson will challenge you with a new technique or music theory, and ends with something fun – such as your favorite riff or song. We employ a variety of guitar method books based on student needs and preferences, and encourage students to bring smartphones, tablets or CDs to their lessons to learn their favorite tunes.

What will I learn from guitar lessons at the Academy?
