My son loves his guitar lessons
My son loves learning piano and guitar. He has maintained his enthusiasm over time, which I understand is not so common among young children. I am sure it’s due in large part to his music teacher! I like that the Academy is so welcoming for kids of all ages. Also very flexible. Good communications with very friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Our guitar teachers are carefully selected from across the city for their educational background, their professional experience, and their wonderful personalities! All of our teachers are also police checked and reference checked, and we keep video cameras in all lesson rooms as part of our comprehensive family safety program.

We have many guitar teachers (both male and female) between both locations, so we most definitely have a teacher that will be the best fit for you.
Each of the 6 stings on a guitar have to be tuned exactly right to sound it’s best. Shorter and/or thinner strings produce a faster vibration, and higher pitches, while longer and/or thicker produce a slower vibration and lower pitches. So the 6 strings of a guitar are composed of different thicknesses and lengths of strings.
Guitars can be strung with either nylon or steel strings. By pressing down and shortening any of the vibrating strings with your fingers, you raise the pitch of the vibrating string. By doing this with 2 or more strings at a time, you produce a chord – multiple notes being played at once!

The teachers are pleasant to deal with and most of all it benefits my son for developing his self confidence at the age of 6 years old.
Futhermore, it increased his focus at his academic grades.
