“My son has been attending since February and he absolutely loves it! He’s so confident with his guitar and could read music after two lessons. Given the current situation, the transition to online lessons has been seamless . There wasn’t any connectivity issues. I think going forward it’ll be a welcome distraction to enable my son to continue learning in this way.”

Guitar FAQ
Yes! All ages are welcome to attend our lessons. We have adult lessons running throughout the week, from absolutely beginners through to advanced players so don’t worry, we’ll find the perfect class for you.
For new Students, we do have a few Guitars in the Studio which can be used if you’re maybe not sure which size would fit you best, or if you’d prefer to have a few lessons before buying an instrument. But generally we’d say it’s best for you to bring along your own instrument. Plus – you’ll need an instrument at home to practise on!
Yes! We can offer Acoustic, Bass, Classical and Electric Guitar lessons, so whichever instrument you prefer there’ll be a lesson spot for you!
We usually would say the youngest age to start would be 7 years old. For any younger children, we’re recommend starting with Ukulele lessons first as they’re much easier for small hands to play!
Yes! We can teach both left- and right-handed Guitar players, don’t worry!
Yes, your teacher can show you how to restring your Guitar so you can manage it easily in the future. If you need new strings, we also have supplies within the Studio which you can buy.
While we encourage students to consider Guitar exams when they reach an appropriate proficiency level, participation is entirely optional. At Sweet Symphony, we offer Guitar exams through three different exam boards: Trinity, Rock & Pop, and LCME. This diverse range allows us to tailor the syllabus to each student’s unique playing style.
