group lessons
Most students will begin their guitar journey in the FUNDAMENTALS group. We also offer more specialised electric and acoustic guitar groups for students looking to hone their skills.

This is for students who have a grasp on the fundamentals of guitar and would like to experience playing in a band, try different instruments, and learn important performance skills.
PRIVATE LESSONS

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ - Dave offers a variety of age appropriate classes and develops a wonder rapport with the kids. I have seen their confidence grow and never in a million years believed they would get up and play in front of a room full of people confidently and willingly. Good prices. Access to apps and practise available. Good set up and highly recommended”
