We balance musicianship and fun by making sure that in each guitar lesson you are challenged with a new technical or theory concept, while you always end with something fun such as your favorite riff or song.

Beginner students can expect to work on chords, simple songs and melodies, sight reading, and theory. Our guitar teachers teach rock, blues, metal, country, and classical guitar lessons on electric and acoustic guitars. In addition to their teaching credentials, our teachers have warm personalities, and are extremely friendly! WHAT INSTRUMENTS DO YOU TEACH? Many of our instructors have gone on performance tours of the US and Europe and have over 20 years of performance and teaching experience. Plus, they have professional performing experience. Our teachers have received their educations from prestigious institutions such as the Eastman School of Music, Berklee College of Music, Oxford University, Oberlin College, and more. We teach all styles from rock, pop, jazz, country, blues, and classical. At the first lesson your teacher will ask you about your favorite type of music, and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or for your child. If you enroll here for music lessons, we will work with you to make a plan that will fit your needs and musical preferences. The main reason to choose the Academy as your music lesson provider is that we are sensitive to the fact that every student is an individual. We do not treat every student the same in terms of how we teach.Ī seven year old playing guitar for the first time will have very different needs than a fifty-seven year old taking up piano lessons for the second time after having taken lessons as a child. Our teachers make it a priority to get to know you on a personal level, becoming familiar with your personal musical needs and goals. This question is often asked by prospective students. The Rochester Academy of Music and Arts offers lessons in electric and acoustic guitar, voice, piano, drums, violin, banjo, mandolin, bass guitar, keyboards and more.
