About our music lessons for youth (kids, children, tweens and teens)
We love working with kids, children, tweens and teens! At this age, students are discovering their interests and passions, and we can help students play music for their own enjoyment, playing with friends and family, or develop skills for competitions and preparing for college auditions.
Whatever your goals are, we will help you achieve them in a encouraging and friendly environment. We are here to help you!

Guitar Lessons
Have you wanted to learn how to play guitar? 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 their music device to their lesson to learn their favorite tunes.
