Unlike traditional music schools that focus on method books and theory-heavy approaches, we teach using the songs you already know and love.
Our students learn faster and practice more because they're playing music that inspires them. We also use game-based learning techniques for younger students to keep lessons engaging and fun.
-
This is one of the most common concerns we hear! Our game-based teaching method makes practice feel less like work and more like play.
When students are excited about the music they're learning, practice happens naturally. We also provide parents with strategies to encourage consistent practice without nagging.

He is a patient, insightful and skilled teacher. As a late to life guitar student I was hesitant to make the investment but every lesson leaves me encouraged and inspired. He has the ability to help me work through problems I can barely articulate without feeling discouraged. He is always willing to take the time to answer any questions I have which has allowed us to explore music theory, history as well as skills and practices. I cannot recommend Rhythm & Strings Music highly enough! — Liz, adult guitar student
