Our goal is to empower you to become the guitarist you aspire to be, regardless of your starting point or ultimate ambitions.

Learning to play the guitar offers a multitude of benefits. It enhances hand-eye coordination, improves concentration, and boosts creativity. Guitar practice develops finger dexterity and can be an excellent stress reliever. Studies show that learning guitar can improve memory and cognitive functions. Moreover, the guitar's portability makes it a social instrument, perfect for gatherings and performances. For many, it becomes a lifelong passion and a means of self-expression. Whether you're looking to play for personal enjoyment, join a band, or pursue a musical career, guitar skills open up a world of musical possibilities.

The primary reason to choose Learn The Arts!® for your guitar journey is our unique Coaching Over Teaching® philosophy. Our guitar coaches are not just instructors; they're mentors who are passionate about guiding you towards your musical goals. We take the time to understand each student's aspirations and favorite genres, crafting a personalized learning experience. Whether you're a beginner picking up the guitar for the first time, a hobbyist looking to refine your skills, or an experienced player aiming to push your boundaries, our coaches will support and inspire you every step of the way.

At Learn The Arts!®, we embrace all styles of guitar music. From rock and blues to jazz, country, classical, and contemporary genres, our diverse team of coaches can guide you through any musical style that interests you. We believe in nurturing your personal musical taste while exposing you to a wide range of genres to broaden your musical horizons. Tell us your favorite artists or songs, and we'll incorporate them into your learning journey, whether you prefer acoustic or electric guitar.

Our guitar coaches are carefully selected based on their professional experience, educational background, and most importantly, their ability to connect with students. Many have degrees in music or extensive performance experience. However, what truly sets them apart is their dedication to our Coaching Over Teaching® philosophy and their genuine passion for nurturing musical growth in others. All our coaches are skilled in working with various age groups and are committed to creating a positive, encouraging learning environment.

In your guitar coaching sessions, you'll embark on a comprehensive musical journey tailored to your goals. You'll learn proper technique, chord progressions, scales, and music theory, all applied practically to playing the songs you love. Our 9-Part System ensures a well-rounded education, covering everything from basic chords and strumming patterns to advanced techniques like fingerpicking and soloing. As you progress, you'll tackle increasingly complex pieces, develop your unique style, and gain confidence in your musical abilities. Throughout your journey, you'll earn recognition through our Musical Ladder System, celebrating your achievements with awards and performance opportunities.

Not at all! While reading music can be beneficial, many successful guitarists primarily use tablature or play by ear. At Learn The Arts!®, we introduce music reading at a pace that's comfortable for you. We also teach tablature, chord charts, and playing by ear, ensuring you have a well-rounded skill set. Our goal is to make learning enjoyable and accessible, so we adapt our methods to suit your learning style and musical interests.

While having a guitar at home is ideal for practice, it's not necessary to start lessons. We have guitars available for use during your initial lessons. However, to progress and practice between sessions, we recommend obtaining an instrument. We can advise you on selecting the right guitar based on your age, size, and musical interests, whether it's an acoustic, classical, or electric guitar. We also offer guidance on affordable options for beginners and can discuss rental possibilities if needed.

At Learn The Arts!®, we exceed the offerings of typical music schools that only provide small recitals once or twice a year. Instead, we offer guitarists a diverse range of optional performance opportunities to celebrate your progress and build confidence. From our spectacular biannual concert series on professional stages with top-notch sound systems to monthly complimentary performances at community venues, and even exclusive destination gigs at prestigious locations worldwide, there's something for every guitarist. The best part? You choose where to start based on your comfort level. Some students prefer intimate acoustic settings, while others are eager to rock the big stage – it's entirely up to you! There's no pressure; we're all about making your guitar learning experience fun and rewarding. These frequent, varied performances not only showcase your growing skills but also provide valuable real-world experience that far surpasses what typical music schools offer. Whether you're strumming your first chords or shredding an epic solo, Learn The Arts!® is here to support your musical journey and help you shine on any stage you choose!
