Music Lessons for Popular Instruments

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 desires 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 guitar for the second time after having had lessons as a child.

The main reason to choose our music school 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.

Each studio is equipped with a Bose™ sound system, so we encourage our students to bring their ipods, smart phones and/or ipads with their favorite songs, plug in to our Bose™ sound systems and learn to play the songs they want to play!

We teach all styles from theater, rock, pop, gospel, jazz, country and blues to classical in our music school serving Scranton, Pennsylvania.

At Scranton Music Academy, no matter which teacher you take lessons with, you'll be getting a teacher who will help you reach your musical goals.
