Graded exams are consist of performance pieces, technical exercises, sight-reading, aural tests and musical theory. All students gain valuable experience playing to music, developping key techniques and theory knowledge.

Specialist Knowledge:

Our teachers specialise in many aspects of guitar playing. From electric, acoustic to classical guitar playing - each has its own unique tricks to learn and all require different techniques and knowledge. More advanced finger picking, strumming patterns, sweeping and soloing can also be taught for those wanted to expand their skillset. Our teachers' also pride themselves in their music theory knowledge, reading both tableture and notation.

Fun:

Learning to play the guitar might seem like a daunting task, but it's surprising how quickly you'll be playing along to your favourite songs within your first few lessons. There's no other like pulling off that solo you've been listening to since you were 5 years old!
