Guitar Instruction

FYI: We no longer accept students for private studio instruction. However, we teach guitar and ukulele courses at Leeward Community College. Here's our schedule for Spring 2023. We'd love to have you in one of our courses!

Our mission on earth is teaching people to play guitar and ukulele, a mission we take very seriously. You'll study with a highly trained and experienced music teacher holding a baccalaureate or higher degree in music. And, because no two people are alike, instruction is tailored and paced according to individual needs.

Most beginners are able to play solos like Greensleeves or Malagueña within 3 to 6 months. As you advance, you can play the classics or use your skills to build a foundation for popular and folk styles.

Teaching Method | You'll be guided through your musical journey with a thoughtful lesson plan and materials. Our method has been tested with thousands of classroom and studio students and distilled within our own textbooks: Frary's Beginning to Play Classical Guitar and Beginning to Play Folk Guitar.

Lesson Format | Lessons are private, just teacher and student, and given once a week according to a prearranged schedule. Thirty or sixty minute lessons are available depending on your musical and financial needs.
