- Q. I know nothing about the guitar/bass. Do you take students like me?
- A. Absolutely! Just think, you have no bad habits. By taking lessons you will be mentored by an experienced player that can guide you in developing proper technique.
- Q. What is a good age to start?
- A. How old are you now? We have students that range from 6 years old to over 80! If you have the desire, you can play guitar no matter what age you are.
- Q. I do not own a guitar should I buy one before my first lesson?
- A. No. Take your first lesson and have your instructor show you what to look for in a guitar. It is very important to find the one that is best for you and your instructor can help guide you. (We also rent guitars and you may want to rent for about a month before you buy something).
- Q. I'm interested in learning to read and write music. Do you teach that?
- A. Yes, we do. We encourage all our student to learn basic music fundamentals like music reading and theory.
- Q. Sometimes I may need to skip a lesson. Will I be charged for that lesson?
- A. We know this is a busy area with people traveling a lot and kids involved with school activities. So, to avoid being charged for a lesson all we ask is for 24 hour notice so that we can reschedule another student into your time. Without the notice you will be charged for that lesson.
- Q. What if I miss a class? Do you offer a make-up?
