Guitar & Bass Lessons

We teach several styles of guitar, from classical to pop, jazz and rock. We encourage a blend of learning chords from favorite songs while also spending time on note reading. Once students know the basics, they are welcome to bring in recordings of music they like and the teacher will help them learn the guitar parts. Students may use either an acoustic or an electric guitar. We recommend 9 or 10 as a good starting age but younger children can sometimes start with a smaller guitar. We teach guitar and bass lessons in private one-on-one lessons to start with and once the student has gained some proficiency they can join a group ensemble..

Ukulele Lessons

We offer ukulele instruction as either an in-person private lesson or as part of an online Sing & Strum program which can be taken individually or with a friend or family member. Sing & Strum lessons include separate instruction in vocal and ukulele technique as well as how to put it all together.

Guitar, bass and ukulele students will need to have their own instrument to bring to lessons and practice on at home.  (We have amps for the electric guitars.) We have guitars of different sizes for students to use at the first lesson if they are doing a trial and not yet sure what type of instrument to purchase.  We don’t rent or sell instruments but will be happy to give you recommendations to local stores.
