Frequently ask Questions

It really depends on how consistently you practice and apply what you learn, but most beginners start playing their first real songs within 90 days of starting.

You’ll start playing recognizable tunes right from the beginning. Each one is designed to develop different skills to prepare you to play the songs you really want to play as soon as possible.

Not at all. Many of our students start learning guitar later in life, and they’re often some of our most motivated students. If you’re serious about learning and willing to apply what you learn, age is not a barrier.

Absolutely. Many guitar players reach a point where they’ve learned quite a few things, but struggle to put everything together or aren’t sure what they need to work on next.

We’ll help you identify what’s holding your playing back, fill in any gaps in your skills, and show you how to tie everything you’ve learned together, so you know exactly what to focus on and can start making faster, more consistent progress.

Your introductory lesson gives us a chance to learn more about what you want to achieve with your guitar playing, identify some of the things that may be holding you back, and show you how we can help you start making progress.

You’ll experience the way we teach and leave with a clear idea of what your next steps could look like.

Guitar lessons are an investment, and the quality and approach can vary greatly from one teacher to another. Rather than making a decision based on price alone, we’d rather give you the opportunity to experience how we teach in an introductory lesson, so you can understand the value for yourself.

We’ll then go through the pricing with you personally.

Less than you might think. You can make real progress with as little as 10 minutes of focused practice a day. How effectively you use that time matters far more than simply spending a long time with the guitar.

A lot of people pick up the guitar, play whatever comes to mind, and call it practice. While there’s nothing wrong with that, focused practice is different. You know exactly what you’re working on, why you’re working on it, and how it’s helping you become a better player.

That’s what we’ll help you develop — a clear practice plan with specific things to work on, so the time you do have is productive. At your introductory lesson, we can also talk about what’s realistic for your schedule.

Absolutely. Whether you want to refine your technique, develop a deeper understanding of music theory, overcome weaknesses in your playing, or break through a plateau, we can help you continue progressing.

Fill in the introductory lesson form and tell us a little about your playing, what you’d like to achieve, and where you feel you need help.

Yes. We work with kids from around age eight and up. For younger children, it really depends on the readiness of the child, so we consider those enquiries on a case-by-case basis.

If you’re unsure whether your child is ready to start, fill in the introductory lesson form and we’ll help you work out the best next step.

We teach a range of styles including rock, blues, metal, country, pop, funk, and folk.

We don’t currently offer classical, Spanish, or jazz guitar. However, we do incorporate jazz theory and jazz guitar techniques where they can help develop your playing.

Attending at least two hours a week leads to faster, more consistent progress. More frequent training gives you the opportunity to build momentum, get regular feedback, and keep moving forward with your playing.

At your introductory lesson, we’ll work out a schedule that best fits into your week.

That’s exactly what the introductory lesson is for. You’ll get to experience how we teach, talk through what you want to achieve with your guitar playing, and see how we can help you make progress towards those goals. You can then decide on the next step.

No problem at all. We make it easy to reschedule missed lessons so you can stay on track with your progress. Simply check the lesson schedule and attend on another available day that works for you.

All you really need is a guitar. If you don’t have one yet, that’s no problem — we can help you choose a guitar that’s right for you. You’ll also have the opportunity to try out a few guitars at the school before deciding what to buy.

No. You don’t need to know how to read traditional sheet music to learn guitar. We’ll teach you what you need to know to play the music you want to play.

Lessons run for approximately 55 minutes.
