Guitar Lessons
Guitar, an instrument rich with possibilities, and nicely portable! It has been described as a "miniature orchestra in itself".
Your child can learn to play their favorite songs, read music, improvise, or write music of their own through guitar lessons!
Guitar lessons are available for ages 6 and up. Younger learners may start on ukulele. Online and in-person lessons available.
When your child begins guitar lessons, they will be individualized to their needs and interests! As their teacher, I want to help your child develop a relationship with music that brings joy and fulfillment.
"When you think what the guitar can do and what every individual player does with a guitar, everyone has their own identity coming through the guitar."
-Jimmy Page
Looking for a guitar or supplies?
See below for my recommendations:
Yamaha APXT2
A 3/4 size acoustic-electric guitar. Great if you want the flexibility to plug in and crank up the distortion, but also want to play acoustic.
Snark Chromatic Tuner
A digital tuner is a necessity for guitarists. I like this one because it clips on the end of the guitar and it's easy for kids to use.
Yamaha JR-1 / JR-2
A great beginner acoustic guitar. It is 3/4 size--perfect for a younger/smaller child starting. This guitar has no electronics, it is purely acoustic.
D'Addario Light Gauge Acoustic Guitar Strings: EJ16
In my opinion, the best beginner strings for acoustic. Light gauge, so they're easier on the fingers.
