Guitar Lessons For Adults
Guitar Lessons For Children
Are you looking for the best way to get started on guitar?
Have you tried to learn guitar before and got stuck between books and YouTube?
Would you enjoy playing songs you love, 3-6 weeks from your first session, regardless of whether you think you have natural ability?
Has your child shown an interest in guitar?
Would you love them to have a skill they can enjoy forever that supports their development, their connection with peers and their wellbeing?
Without nagging them to practice?
It is very common for beginning guitar players to experiment on the internet, get stuck, and then wrongly assume they must be stuck because they are not naturally talented in guitar.
We meet students all the time who have been having a go at home, sometimes for over a decade, really want to be able to play guitar confidently and expressively, but have lost out on years of fun because they were using ineffective or one-size-fits-all tuition methods that didn’t work for them.
Music tuition books and DVDs typically take a linear approach that doesn’t allow for development of your musicianship in a rounded way. They can’t adjust for your prior experience and specific skills, and they can’t recommend the right drills and techniques to move you in your playing & musicianship based on your specific strengths and objectives. Additionally, they don’t care what your favourite music is or what inspires you.
Don’t short change yourself on the sheer enjoyment and satisfaction you can experience with guitar! We’ve had students who were starting out at retirement age learn to play expressive guitar solos, write songs, get up and join jam sessions and perform in bands. We’ve had junior guitarists win their school talent shows and go on to make friends at uni with their guitar playing.

Key to Music is such a fantastic school. Sarah the teacher is so kind and supportive. My level has improved since I joined and I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn and/or improve their guitar skills!!

Diana and Sarah are a pleasure to be taught guitar by. I have taken lessons myself and my daughter has been taught by them both over the past 6 years. They run classes which are engaging and tailored to each person and their skill level, … More enabling you to learn at your own pace while still in a group environment. They also run lots of extra curricular activities which has helped my daughter grow hugely in confidence with her guitar playing. They always make it fun and are always a pleasure to deal with. I'd highly recommend Key to Music to anyone irrespective of age!

Diana is a great teacher. Before joining her class I'd wanted to learn guitar for years and tried a couple of times, but gave up at the end.
In our class we were students with all levels of experience, but she made sure that all of … More us were on the same page and no one was left behind. She'll take the time to guide you through step by step, and will answer your questions if you have them but at the same time she'll give you enough space to grow on your own.
Besides a good guitar teacher, she's also very polite and understanding. As a non-native, when I first joined I was nervous and quite shy. Diana made me feel comfortable with my skills, be it language or guitar skills.
I would totally recommend her to everyone wanting to pick up the guitar.
