ages?
Six years old

audience is younger students, we do accept older students and adults.
What
if my child is younger than the age listed?
These are target
ages and we do make exceptions when we can.
If I miss a class can I make it up?
Unfortunately, we are unable to offer makeup classes because we don't have time in our busy schedule. We suggest that you study the calendar carefully before signing up for the class. This will insure that you can make all 10 dates. If you're sick don't worry. The classes are designed to move very slow. Each week we review the old material and learn the new material so it's easy to catch up. And don't forget you can always call or email if you have questions.
Should I get my child a full size acoustic guitar?
It depends on the size of your child. Most elementary students do well with a 1/2 size or 3/4 size guitar. Have your child go with you to a music store and a salesman can tell you what size will best fit him/her.
My child has a "toy" guitar, will that work?
Usually not. They don't stay in tune very well and that can be very frustrating. We'll take a look at it if you want us too and let you know if it will work.
What
about student behavior?
We have very
high standards for student behavior. If
you feel that your child’s behavior is not suitable for a class setting
then you may prefer private lessons. There
are several locations in the area that provide private lessons.
We reserve the right to refund course fees if we feel that a
student may be better served with a private teacher.

A typical class
