There are 3 major areas stressed in each 1 hour lesson. First, technique, which is the physical ability to play the things you want to play. This is accomplished through a wide variety of exercises for both hands. Second, Knowledge, which is the ability to understand the fretboard, chord-key relationships, scales and improvisation, and chart reading. Third is the Application of technique and concepts. This is specifically the ability to apply what is learned through improvisation and playing of songs. Each of these areas vary greatly depending on each student’s goals and playing level. Our staff treats each student as an individual by molding the program to the student’s specific desires.

Improvisation and group playing are an important part of learning an instrument, so we invite students to participate in group workshops. There are separate sessions for adults and kids and we also offer an acoustic session for adults. In these workshops, guitar and bass students play through songs with a drummer, vocalists, and staff. This is a great way to apply what is being learned in a live setting.
Adult jam sessions:
Tuesday (electric guitars and bass) – 8:00 – 9:30pm
Wednesday (acoustic guitars) 7:30 – 9:00pm
Kids Jam sessions -TBA
