Junior Rockers! Fancy a new hobby? Our beginner’s guitar lessons will teach you how to play guitar from the scratch. Tailor made for beginners just starting out, GDA students will be given valuable musical knowledge, the use of correct guitar techniques, and a fun and supportive environment. Everyone is unique and as such, students learn at a different speed. Nobody is expected to ‘keep up’ and if you are totally new to the guitar, we know it can take time and patience.

Our lessons are adapted to suit each individual’s needs. These classes are taught in groups, or private one to one lessons depending on your preference. All lessons are taught on the acoustic guitar. If you don’t have an accoustic guitar, please get in touch as we have acoustic guitars available at the academy. We also offer Zoom classes where appropriate.

Junior Rockers beginner’s guitar lessons are designed to give students a solid introduction to guitar playing.  Even the world’s greatest guitarists had to start at the beginning!

Areas covered in both group and private lessons include:

  • Learn how to hold your guitar correctly (first and foremost!)
  • Learn about tuning your guitar
  • Learn basic guitar chords and how to change between them
  • Learn how to read rhythms
  • Learn strumming and strumming patterns
  • Learn about fingerpicking

  • Remember ‘music is good for the soul’ and the eye/hand co-ordination, so ROCK ON!
