Guitar Classes for Youth

Our guitar classes are designed to introduce young students to the fundamentals of music in a fun, supportive setting. We offer two unique programs, each tailored to the needs of the community it serves.

Guitar Program:

Open to students ages 6–18, these classes are held at local churches and focus on basic guitar skills like chords, strumming, and simple songs. It’s a great starting point for young beginners in a familiar, community-oriented environment.

We will resume classes on August 2025!
