GUITAR LESSONS IN EAST HAVEN, CT
(for ages five and up)
Our guitar teachers teach rock, blues, metal, country and classical guitar lessons on electric and acoustic guitars. Beginner students can expect to work on chords, simple songs and melodies, sight reading and theory. We balance musicianship and fun by making sure that each lesson you are challenged with a new technical or theory concept, but always end with something fun such as your favorite riff or song. We use a variety of guitar method books to accomplish this and encourage students to bring CDs or their iPod to their lesson to learn their favorite tunes.
Guitar Lessons for Beginners
Our teachers are experts at teaching beginning guitar students. You’ll start by learning single string melodies and easy chord forms. This will enable you to start strumming along and playing the melody right away. You’ll then progress to note reading and tablature, and open chord chord forms that span all six strings. Our teachers are comfortable with the most popular beginner guitar methods including, Hal Leonard, Mel Bay, and FJH.
Guitar Lessons for Kids
We can teach students as young as age 5. It’s very important to begin on a child-sized guitar if you’re under the age of 10-12. Our teachers will assess what size guitar you need in your first lesson and give you advice on where to find a good guitar. They will also focus on materials that are appropriate for young, small hands and bodies such as three string chord forms, and single string melodies.
Guitar Lessons for Adults
We are happy to teach adults who are beginners as well as those who have prior experience. We will tailor our lesson program to meet your needs. We can teach you to read music notation, play chords, and learn just about any style you would like.
Electric Guitar LessonsOur teachers are ready to teach you to rock on electric guitar. You’ll learn how to read tablature and get started playing power chords in no time. You’ll progress into playing rock chord progressions and learn how to solo using the pentatonic scale in the higher positions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
WHAT DO YOU LEARN IN YOUR MUSIC LESSONS?
That question is often asked by prospective students. Our teachers make it a priority to get to know you on a personal level and to become familiar with your personal musical needs and goals. We do not treat every student the same in terms of what and how we teach. A seven year old having their first guitar lesson will have very different needs than a fifty seven year old taking up piano for the 2nd time after having had lessons as a child.
The main reason to choose the Academy as your music lesson provider, is that we are sensitive to the fact that every student is an individual. If you enroll here for lessons, we will work with you to make a plan that will fit your needs and musical preferences. At the first lesson your teacher will ask you about your favorite type of music, and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child.
WHAT STYLES OF MUSIC DO YOU TEACH?
We teach all styles from rock, pop, jazz, country, blues and classical.
ARE YOUR INSTRUCTORS QUALIFIED?
Our teachers have received their education from prestigious institutions such as New York University, Indiana University, Berklee College of Music, Oxford University, University of North Carolina School of the Arts, University of North Texas, South Carolina Governors School for the Arts, the Atlanta Guitar Institute, Columbia College and the University of South Carolina. Many of our instructors have gone on performance tours of the US and Europe and have over 25 years of professional performance and teaching experience. In addition to their teaching credentials, our teachers have warm personalities, are extremely friendly and strive to get to know each student and their parent on a personal level.
If you are ready to start, you have nothing to lose as we only want students who truly want to be here.
