Your first 30 minutes
Here is where
we start.
No audition and nothing to prepare. Tell us what you would like to play, even if you only know the tune.
- Get comfortable.Try the chair, hold the guitar and find a position that suits your hands.
- Hear the strings.We tune together, then try a few notes and one easy chord shape.
- Take something home.Try a slow rhythm and leave with a short practice note. There is no deadline for getting it right.
Before your first lesson
Do I need to own a guitar?
No. Tell us in your request if you need to borrow a studio guitar for the first lesson. We can talk about a comfortable size before you buy one.
Can a parent stay?
Yes. A parent or guardian stays for the first lesson with learners under 18. An adult should make the lesson request.
One lesson is a good place to begin.
