    From a first chord to a song that feels like yours

    Can I start guitar with no experience?

    Yes. You do not need to know chords or read music before asking about lessons. Bring a song you enjoy and tell us what you would like to learn; your interests help guide the starting-point discussion.

    Should I buy a guitar before booking?

    Ask about instrument fit and your goals before making a purchase. If you already have a guitar or ukulele, tell us what it is and ask what to bring to your assessment. The right starting instrument depends on the learner and the music they want to play.

    Guitar lessons for children and teens

    Start with the music your child enjoys. Acoustic guitar, electric guitar and ukulele offer different sounds and playing experiences. Tell us about their age and any instrument at home so we can discuss a comfortable, appropriate starting point.

    Acoustic, electric or ukulele?

    There is no requirement to choose the most difficult instrument first. Think about the sound that draws you in, the instrument's size and feel, and where you will practise. Ask about fit before purchasing; ukulele can be a different musical choice, not simply a temporary substitute for guitar.

    Adult beginners and returning players

    Bring a favourite song, a few chords you know, or simply an idea of the music you want to make. Lessons can connect strumming, timing and clean chord changes with accompaniment and songwriting, without requiring you to arrive as a confident player.

    Learn at our Yonge & Lawrence studio: 3300 Yonge Street, Studio 207, Toronto, Ontario M4N 2L6.
