Guitar Lessons Should Be Fun!

Here at Velocity Music Academy, we can help you convert your musical fantasies into reality – while preserving that irresistible sense of joy you feel when playing along.

We Emphasize Healthy Technique
Regardless of your ultimate goals, our teachers will prioritize strong fundamentals including proper posture, hand positioning, chords, fretting, picking, and strumming. As students progress, these basics will become second nature – and serve as the foundation from which students can apply their skills across a variety of genres and styles.
We want our guitar students to be literate, well-rounded musicians. Beginners and seasoned performers alike will find value in our approach at Velocity Music Academy, coupling technical instruction with elements of music theory and music history in each lesson.
