The Purple Piano: Music, Mindfulness & Movement
Guitar Lessons
Learn to play your favorite songs with personalized acoustic and electric guitar lessons!
Guitar is a great instrument for playing solo, accompanying yourself while singing, playing in a band, and songwriting. Whether you're picking up a guitar for the first time or looking to expand your musical skills, our teachers create engaging lessons tailored to your goals and interests.
Who Are Guitar Lessons For?
We offer acoustic and electric guitar lessons for children, teens, and adults of all experience levels.
An appropriate age to begin guitar lessons is typically between 6 and 8 years old. For younger students or those with smaller hands, beginning on the ukulele can sometimes provide a more accessible introduction to string instruments before easily transitioning to guitar.
Our teachers work with:
-
young beginners
-
teens exploring music more deeply
-
adult beginners
-
experienced musicians
-
singer-songwriters
-
students interested in playing with others
Some of our students wish to just play for fun, and others pursue music more seriously. Let us know your goals and we'll be sure to match you with the right instructor to meet your needs.
