Learning a new instrument takes a combination of skill and dedication. Those considering beginning lessons should plan to dedicate 30 minutes almost every day to practicing the guitar. Students will learn different ways of reading music, including tablature and notation. Basic music theory is usually taught along with playing the guitar; this helps the student understand what they are playing. Theory practices can be applied to all styles of music and many different instruments. A large repertoire of music is built over time that focuses on the students’ preferred styles.

Students that practice at least 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week or more generally can see a lot of progress after 2-3 months of lessons. It is never too late to learn how to play the guitar. Adults of all ages and children 6 and up, from beginners to advanced players are welcome. Amy has a strong background teaching children and helps them to have fun while learning about music.

Annual recitals are provided in the summer for students to gain performance experience. Recitals are free of charge and open to all students, friends, and family.
