What styles of guitar do you teach?

We teach all styles, from rock, pop, jazz, and blues to metal, country and classical guitar – on electric and acoustic guitars.

How qualified are your guitar instructors?

Our guitar and music instructors have received their musical education from such prestigious institutions as New York University, Indiana University, the Berklee College of Music, Oxford University, University of Southern California, Eastman School of Music, and many other wonderful programs. Many have toured the US and Europe, bringing an abundance of performance and recording experience to your lessons. But most importantly, they are all engaging educators!

What will I learn from guitar lessons at Encore Music?

Beginner guitar students can expect to work on chords, simple songs and melodies, sight reading and theory. Our instructors balance musicianship and fun by making sure that each lesson presents a new technical challenges or theory concept, and ends with something fun, such as your favorite riff or song. We use a variety of guitar method books, and encourage students to bring their smartphone or CDs to their lesson to learn their favorite tunes.

Do I need to purchase a guitar to learn the instrument?

Encore Music offers acoustic and electric guitars for student lessons (for your convenience, students can use one of ours at their first lesson). But to practice at home, you will need a guitar. There are a variety of instruments appropriate for beginners!

​

Are there performances?‍

Absolutely! Every Winter and Spring, our students have the opportunity to perform on a large stage. We do not sell tickets to performances, so you can invite all of your family and friends. We offer many other performance opportunities throughout the year including community events, senior living homes, and local coffee shops.
