ABOUT OUR GUITAR LESSONS

The guitar instructors at the Hilliard Music Academy teach blues, classical, country, rock, metal, and pop music on electric and acoustic guitars. Beginning students can expect to learn chords, simple songs and melodies, sight reading, and theory. We balance musicianship and fun by ensuring that each lesson brings a new challenge, whether it’s a technical or theoretical concept, but always ends with something fun, such as working on your favorite song. To accomplish this, we utilize a variety of guitar method books!

Our guitar lessons start at 6 years old, and we work with beginners up to advanced level students. We offer 30, 45, and 60 minute lessons.
