Guitar Group Classes

Group lessons are a terrific way to learn, or continue learning an instrument. Participants gain valuable musicianship skills when playing in a group, while still furthering their individual skill set. Participants in any of our guitar classes can choose the electric or acoustic guitar for their study. If you require assistance with obtaining an instrument, reach out and we can point you in the right direction.
