BIWEEKLY GUITAR FOR GRADES 1-5
15 Biweekly Lessons: September-April
Choose Evening or Daytime Format
Total Cost: $300 + $35 Reg Fee
Registration is Open!
Beginner guitar is offered for students in a biweekly format of two lessons per month. We find more and more families enjoy this set up which offers more practice time between lessons. Children are introduced to fundamentals in this series, with Book 1 covering just five notes and four easy chords.
​​
For students in public or private school, Monday evening lessons are held after 4pm.
For homeschoolers, daytime lessons can be arranged between 12-3pm.
​
PLEASE NOTE: This is an introductory level course. The book series used contains a total of 3 levels, typically completed in 2 years or so. After that point, students are referred to a more advanced teacher in the area.
GUITAR SIZES BY AGE:
-
1/4 size: Best suited for children aged 4-6, or those with a height of up to 3'9".
-
1/2 size: Suitable for children aged 6-9, or those with a height between 3'10" and 4'4".
-
3/4 size: Appropriate for children aged 9-12, or those with a height between 4'5" and 5'0".
These size recommendations are merely a guide. If your child is small or large for their age, please use your best judgment or have a professional at a local music store assist you. Other considerations:
-
if using an old guitar from a parent or family friend, which is perfectly acceptable, check into having it restrung or restored prior to use
-
guitars can also be found on amazon, Craig's List, or even facebook marketplace
-
the guitar should come with a case as well as picks
-
a free app like 'Guitar Tuna' can be used instead of purchasing a tuner; also, a piano or keyboard can easily be used to tune the guitar
