From Glenn Tinturin

Probably one of the most popular instruments in the world, the guitar offers versatility far beyond almost any other instrument. From country to classical, Spanish to jazz, folk to flamenco, pop to rock, and concert stages to campfires, the guitar holds a place in more homes than any other single instrument. And, you can take it anywhere.

Although the guitar is possibly the most played instrument in the United States, if not the world, it certainly is not the easiest. 1-on-1 and group lessons are offered for children and adults, beginning through virtuoso. We recommend that young children (under 10) begin with the piano unless they are extremely motivated, coordinated, and have well-developed hands.

Key Benefits

If they wish, students may have all their lessons via live, one-on-one online video calls, which have many benefits over in-person lessons. We’re thrilled to offer online lessons moving forward, as it will enable more students to take lessons. Online lessons are an amazing alternative and a highly effective way to have lessons with us:

• Save time. Online lessons eliminate commute times, which means they’re easier to fit into a busy schedule.
• Save travel costs
• No transportation concerns
• Learn from the comfort of your own home
• Ability to record and review
• Eco-friendly option
• Be free to be anywhere in the world with your favorite teacher, with a good Internet connection
• Convenience and Effectiveness

• Opportunity for Group Lessons which provide better and faster results
• Be part of a community of guitarists and gain from their insight into learning and playing

Just as in-person lessons, you will get:

• Private, online lessons give you the full attention of your teacher and allow you to move at your own pace, setting yourself up for success.
• Your teacher will be able to focus on your individual learning style. Everyone learns differently, and when you’re able to connect with a teacher in a personalized learning environment, you’re way more likely to absorb information, build your technique, and reach your goals.
• Your individual interests are unique! In a private lesson, you can choose the genres you connect with, even focusing on a specific song as your goal. The more you enjoy the music you’re learning, the more motivated you’ll be!
• In a one-on-one setting, you also will feel more accountable, which means you’re more likely to practice! Practice is so important in learning music, and there is no better feeling than when your practice pays off and you can finally play that song you’ve always wanted to play!
• Pride of accomplishment
• Build self-confidence
• Satisfaction from entertaining and pleasing others
• Relaxation
• Build hand-eye coordination
• Learning to focus
• Build and maintain a strong brain and mind (especially important for mature adults)
• Learn musicianship and how to become a true artist
• Most importantly, learn to play from your heart
