A nylon
string classic guitar is required. Children sizes are available
to rent or purchase.
For children we use singing, note reading and ear training in a
step- by-step approach that is fun and engaging. Another outstanding
feature of this program is parent participation. The parent(s) or
a supporting adult attends each class with their child to help and
encourage them as they build confidence and security in their abilities.
An Interactive Program
Each student learns solos, duets, trios and chords in small groups
as they master the fundamentals including ear training, reading
and technique. The material is straightforward and user friendly.
Each semester advances to a greater level of proficiency and fun!
The Advantage of Semesters
There are three continuing sessions in a year
with break weeks between each semester so students may continue
their studies year-round.
Our students pay
less than other places because they are not paying for the break
weeks. Students at other highly rated studios must pay monthly year-round
to keep their spot in the teachers schedule.
The break weeks also give students time off from lessons; and for
school age children and their parents time to adjust to the Fall
and Spring schedules.
Tuition
$160 for new students
- Intro 11 week sessions (includes orientation)
These sessions are offered starting later than the regular sessions
to accommodate students that enroll after our regular classes begin
or in the summer for school aged students.
$175 per 14 week
sessions for continuing students.
Materials
Electronic Tuner $27.00 (one time cost) Second
Semester
We have selected the best and easiest to use tuner so that the student
can keep the guitar in tune from the beginning
Foot Stand $13.00 (one time cost) First Semester
This is used to elevate the left leg so that the guitar is in the
best possible positioning and the student does not have to use the
hands to hold the guitar in place. The hands and fingers are freer
to play correctly.
