WHY SHOULD YOU TAKE AN ADULT GUITAR COURSE?
​
Our adult guitar classes are highly effective, fun, and inspiring!
​
You don't have to be talented or brilliant to play guitar.
You just have to want to play.
​
Most adults have at least a reason or two why they feel like they can't sign up for a new guitar class. Do any of these sound like you?
​
"I used to play guitar, but I forgot a lot and it might be really hard."
"I don't want to feel like a little kid and play uninspiring beginning guitar music from a method book"
"I'm just too busy and I won't have time to practice guitar"
​
"I can't make every guitar class in the course session, so why should I pay for the course?"
​
Our guitar classes are designed to help you create a strong and solid foundation with playing guitar and understanding basic music theory. We use songs and pieces that are fun to play, and we don't use method books.
​
We send class recap emails with helpful info, links, and more after every class, so you'll be able to continue your guitar progress week to week, even if you miss a class here and there.
With some basic foundational guitar knowledge, and the proper guidance on how to use that knowledge, most people can learn to play guitar well enough to have fun and continue learning about music and guitar on their own.
Taking an adult guitar class is fun. It's social. And at it's an affordable way to get on track with your music ambitions right away!​
