GUITAR LESSONS
Electric & Acoustic Guitar Lessons
Guitar Lessons
(AGES 7 AND UP)
In our guitar lessons, guitar teachers teach lessons to guitar students all ages. Our guitar teachers teach styles from rock & blues, metal, country, pop, jazz and classical styles on both electric, acoustic and bass guitars. Beginners work on chords, simple songs and melodies, sight reading and theory. Each guitar lesson will challenge you with a new technique or music theory, and ends with something fun–such as your favorite riff or song. We employ a variety of guitar method books based on student needs and preferences, and encourage students to bring smartphones or CDs to their guitar lessons to learn their favorite tunes.
What’s the #1 reason to study the guitar at the Academy?
Our guitar instructors are warm and friendly, and get to know each student and parent on a personal level. We work with you to craft a lesson plan that fits your individual needs and the student's favorite type of music. Whether you're playing in local bands, a seven year old taking their first guitar lesson, or a fifty year old returning to the guitar after many years, we’ll set goals to achieve your musical aspirations.
What styles of guitar do you teach?
We teach all styles, from rock, pop and jazz to country, blues and classical, on electric and acoustic guitars.

Some have graduated from the excellent music programs in our local colleges, such as Marywood University, Baptist Bible College, Wilkes University, Mansfield University and SUNY Binghamton.
What will I learn from guitar lessons at Scranton Music Academy?
