Common Concerns

(And Why They’re No Problem)

  • Not at all — we’ve worked with students in their 20s, 40s, 60s, and beyond.

    Adult learners often progress faster because they know what they want and why they’re here.

  • You don’t need them. We’ll show you how 15–20 focused minutes a day can move you forward faster than you ever thought possible.

  • That’s because most lessons start with theory instead of music, leading to confusion and frustration.

    We flip it — you’ll play real songs you know from your very first lesson.

  • Music lessons build skills that help in work and life: focus, confidence, creativity, and discipline.

    Plus, our adult students progress quickly because they are motivated to play songs they know and love!

Programs for Every Adult

Adult Beginner Program

You've always wanted to learn—for the first time or all over again.

Our Adult Beginner Program helps you do it confidently.

Learn real songs from day one, build foundational skills, and within weeks you'll be playing music you love—all tailored to your pace and interests.

Returning Player Program

Dust off that old instrument or revive that musical itch.

Our Returning Player Program reconnects you with the joy of playing—speeding up muscle memory, restoring technique, and reigniting your passion.

Play songs you loved or always wanted to learn, and feel the thrill of progress—again.

Creative Play & Progress Program

For those who want more than steady progress—this is your playground. Choose from paths like:

  • Repertoire Building: Set monthly goals and see your song list grow—ready for your own curated mini-performance.

  • Improvisation & Ear Training: Learn to play by ear, explore chord progressions, and improvise with ease.

  • Creative Expression: Try songwriting or simple arrangement—lay down a riff, sketch a melody, or compose your own short piece.

  • Performance Prep (optional): Feeling brave? We’ll help you prepare a piece to share with friends or family in a casual, supportive setting.

What Our Adult Students Say

  • I've always wanted to learn to play the guitar and sing my songs from church. In just a couple months I've learned more than I ever thought possible.

  • Every lesson leaves me encouraged and inspired. I’m playing songs I’ve loved for decades and my kids are taking an interest in music now too!

    — Liz L, adult guitar student
