Guitar Lessons (Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Children’s Guitar)

Overview

We offer the best guitar lessons for beginner, intermediate, and advanced guitar students. For beginners, we use the most effective and proprietary Presto! It’s Guitar Magic method books and curriculum. This excellent guitar method series has been and continues to be developed by Dr. Dennis Frayne, Mr. Denny Frayne (his son), and other expert teachers within Dennis Frayne Music Studios. We offer lessons in acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and bass guitar.

Our guitar instructors teach rock, blues, metal, country and classical styles on both electric and acoustic guitars. Beginners work on chords, folk songs, children’s songs, and simple pop 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 repertoire based on student needs and preferences, and encourage students to bring smartphones or CDs to their lessons to learn their favorite tunes.

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.

Ukulele Lessons

Ukulele is a great way to get started in music, on guitar, and is a wonderful instrument in its own right. Like guitar, ukulele can be played both as a solo instrument and as accompaniment to singing.

How Do I Get Started with Guitar, Bass Guitar, or Ukulele Lessons?

The best way to get started is to schedule an introductory music lesson. At this 30-minute music lesson, the student will learn something useful, and we will gain an understanding of the student’s needs and best placement options. After your introductory music lesson, you will be able to enroll for studio membership and ongoing lessons.
