Guitar lessons
Build a useful foundation in rhythm, chord changes and listening, with a format suited to the way you want to learn.
A useful starting point.
For a first-time or returning player who wants guided practice. Discuss the instrument, music interests and suitable format before agreeing a place.

What the lesson could explore.
- Getting familiar with the instrument and lesson setup

Not included.
