For guitar lessons, we recommend that students begin with group lessons at 7 years old. For students 5 and up, we would recommend beginning on ukulele.

The answer to this is either. In the beginning the skills that students will learn on either the acoustic or electric guitar will be transferrable. The is generally true until you start getting up to grade 2 standard.

 However, if you or your child have a preference, this is the correct answer! Our professional teaching team can teach both, and will work with you on whichever you would prefer.

We provide electric guitars for group lessons (because it allows us to turn down students if needed!), but for private lessons we provide both.

We would highly recommend that while a student has guitar lessons, that they have access to a guitar at home that they can use to practice. This will increase the chances that the student develops a passion for playing and will dramatically increase the chances of progression.
