Looking for the perfect next step for your child’s musical journey?
Our continuing beginner guitar class on the Upper East Side is designed for young musicians who have completed our Beginner Guitar Class and are ready to advance their skills in a fun and supportive environment.
In this engaging music class, children will learn to play more challenging songs, practice essential finger exercises to build technique and dexterity, and improve their ability to read music and chord diagrams, fostering independence in their playing.
With a low student-to-instructor ratio, each child receives personalized attention and guidance tailored to their needs. The group setting encourages teamwork and helps children develop social skills while enjoying the shared experience of making music.
This class is an excellent opportunity for children to further develop their guitar skills, gain confidence, and cultivate a lasting appreciation for music.
Class size is limited to six students.
