Lessons for Young People
Q: How old should my son or daughter be to start lessons or classes?
A: At Brooklyn Guitar School, we accept young people for private guitar lessons beginning at age six, and for group classes at age fourteen.
Q: What are your lessons for young people like?
A: That depends on the kid! We will carefully select a teacher who matches up with your child's age and interests, and your priorities. All of our instructors will help their students develop musically in a fun and motivating context.
Q: Where will my child's lessons be located?
A: Private lessons are available in your
Brooklyn home. Lessons are 45 minutes long, once per week. For children under 11 lessons are 30 minutes long, once per week.
Q: What times are available?
A: Private lessons are available seven days a week.
Q: How do private lessons work?
A: The first step is to set up a trial lesson. Call or e-mail our friendly staff (at 718-855-5400 or info@brooklynguitarschool.com). We'll ask you about your child's age, experience and interests and suggest one of our expert teachers for a single, no-obligation trial lesson.
Q: How much is tuition?
A:The trial lesson is available in your home for $50 ($40 for children age 5-11) or in our studio for $40. After the trial you can continue with individual lessons in your home at $70 per lesson or $60 per child's half-hour lesson, or in our studio at $60 per lesson or $50 per child's half-hour lesson(peak hours); however, most of our students take advantage of our discounted blocks of ten lessons:

Q: What kind of guitar should I get for my daughter or son?
A: For young children, we recommend a three-quarter size nylon string guitar. For teenagers we recommend either
