Our mission
Our goal is to give students the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue the music that’s most important to them, in the way that best suits them
What do we teach?
Children (generally) begin by learning in the Classical/Spanish style; there is a wealth of great literature for guitarists of all levels to enjoy, and it is an effective basis from which to learn good technique and music theory. Kids also love it because they get to play and hear both melody and harmony, rather than just learning chords. Students are also regularly encouraged to find songs they’d like to learn from the radio, movies, etc. and work on them in lessons.
Teens and adults are free to pick their own genre(s) of study. Lessons will be focused on obtaining the knowledge and skills necessary to master those styles.
Who do we teach?
All people of any experience level are welcome.
We’re great with beginners!
