Our guitar lessons are catered to each individual student. We teach all ages, kids, youth and adults. The youngest we begin teaching guitar is around 7 years old. For those students younger than 7 we recommend they try out Ukulele as it is smaller in size and nylon strings are easy on the fingers. Our goal is to help you achieve your musical goals. Let us know what style, song or performance you wish to achieve and we can help you take the steps to get there! Get to know our instructors listed below.
