Guitar Lessons
What styles of guitar do you teach?
We teach all styles, from rock, pop, jazz, and blues to metal, country and classical
guitar – on
electric and acoustic guitars.
How qualified are your guitar instructors?
Our faculty have received their musical education from such prestigious institutions as Julliard, the Berklee College of Music, Texas University, UNT, and SMU piano performance and pedagogy programs. Many have toured the US and Europe, and bring over 25 years of professional performance and teaching experience to your lessons.
Overview
Our guitar instructors teach rock, blues, metal, country and classical styles on both electric and acoustic guitars. Beginners work on chords, simple songs and melodies, sight reading and theory. Each lesson will challenge you with a new technique or music theory, and ends with something fun – such as your favorite riff or song. We employ a variety of guitar method books based on student needs and preferences, and encourage students to bring smartphones or CDs to their lessons to learn their favorite tunes.
What’s the #1 reason to study guitar at the Academy?
Our guitar instructors are warm and friendly, and get to know each student and parent on a personal level. We work with you to craft a lesson plan that fits your individual needs and the student's favorite type of music. Whether you're playing in local bands, a seven year old taking their first lesson, or a fifty year old returning to the guitar after many years, we’ll set goals to achieve your musical aspirations.
What will I learn from guitar lessons at the Academy?
Beginner guitar students can expect to work on chords, simple songs and melodies, sight reading and theory. Our instructors balance musicianship and fun by making sure that each lesson presents a new technical challenges or theory concept, and ends with something fun, such as your favorite riff or song. We use a variety of guitar method books, and encourage students to bring their smartphone or CDs to their lesson to learn their favorite tunes.
Do I need to purchase a guitar to learn the instrument?
The Academy offers acoustic and electric guitars for student lessons (for your convenience, students can use one of ours at their first lesson). But to practice at home, you will need a guitar. We offer a variety of instruments appropriate for beginners, starting at just $89.00.

CUSTOMIZED LESSONS
Parents are encouraged to attend the lesson with their child until the child is sight-reading independently. The parent participation allows the teacher to communicate, as well as allow the parent to record a short segment of the “main point” at the end of each lesson for the child to watch and use during their practice at home. Parents say the children love watching and practicing to these videos so much that the child asks for them to be played just so they can hear the teacher talking just to THEM!
