Guitar Lessons

Learn to play the guitar. Students can sign up for 4, 8 or 16 week sessions of guitar instruction. During the weekly one-on-one lesson emphasis is placed on building a strong technical and musical foundation. Thus creating ease in playing that allows all styles of music making to be more enjoyable. Instruction is then tailored to meet your musical goals.

Lessons are available to children and adults of all levels and styles (rock, folk, jazz, blues and classical). Located in Dunkirk, New York the studio is open by appointment only. Lessons are also available on Wednesday in Mayville, NY. Please call (716) 680-2259 or e-mail to schedule an appointment.

The guitars are available in the following sizes: 1/2 size (small children), 3/4 size(adolescents), 7/8 size(teenagers, ladies and gentlemen with smaller hands) and full size* Read More
