Group Guitar (Ages 7 and up)

Group Guitar (Ages 7 and up) is designed for young musicians who want to learn guitar while experiencing the joy of playing with others. Through ensemble-based learning, students develop strong foundational skills in rhythm, chords, ear training, and musicianship within a supportive group setting.

Group learning encourages students to listen, collaborate, and gain confidence by making music together. As students sing, strum, and play as a group, they develop skills that extend beyond the instrument, including focus, teamwork, and musical independence.

This class is ideal for students who enjoy learning alongside peers and want to build a lasting connection to music and guitar.

Fridays 4:15 PM TO 5:00 PM, Starting on January 9th

PRICE: $235 PER SESSION 45 MINUTES

When you register, a 35-dollar non-refundable deposit is required upon registration, and the remaining $200 will be charged on the first class.
