FAQs

So, what are the main things to keep in mind when searching for a teacher?

To help you in your quest, I have put together a small list of questions that I get asked often as well as questions you should ask a potential guitar teacher before you decide to take lessons with them.

Do I need a guitar to start lessons?

It is not necessary to have your own instrument to start taking lessons. I have a spare guitar that can be used in the lessons, however to make noticeable progress it is wise to buy your own guitar when you can so that you can practise away from the lessons. "Note if you are left handed it will be necessary to bring your own guitar".

Do I have to take grades?

Grades are optional and not essential to your learning. Grades are a great way to gauge progress on the guitar and generally are favoured by children in order to give them set goals to achieve that will also give them a recognised qualification. Grades can be taken by any student of any age but it is up to you.

Should I buy a tuition book?

It is not essential to have a book in order to start taking lessons, however in the beginning having a book is a great way focus your learning around the basics of the guitar. It will also give you material to use away from the lessons.

What size guitar should I buy for my child?

The size of the guitar will vary depending on your child. As an average a 4/4 size is for a child aged 10+, a 3/4 for ages 7-9 and 1/2 for ages 5+. To be sure you get the correct size I suggest going into a shop and get your child to try various sizes.

You'll find more information on the FAQ page of our website.
