At The Guitar School we build on our experience to develop a teaching style, approach, pace and syllabus uniquely suited to your requirements. We do this by discussing your unique reasons for wanting to play guitar, and by finding out what your goals, inspirations, likes and dislikes are. From there we craft a course suited to you. We cover various genres, including, rock, jazz, classical, metal, pop and finger-style
The Guitar School also facilitates internationally accredited certifications and subject music instruction for school students (e.g. the IEB prescribed syllabi). We have extensive experience in preparing students for exams and encourage as many students to enter as possible. The Guitar School also offers classical and contemporary music theory lessons as listed below.
