You are not too young, you are not too old! Guitar very fun and is easier than you think! My youngest student is 9yrs old and at the end of his very first lesson he was able to play a song. I think I was more excited about it than he was. I have been playing electric and acoustic guitar for over 50 years and I play multiple genres ( gospel, country, r & b, rock, smooth jazz & go-go. I have played on more recordings than I can remember and performed & toured with national artists. Allow me to help you start your musical journey!

Michael Abernathy Percussion

Michael Abernathy Percussion

9+ years in business
Serves Alexandria, VA & Online
I have been teaching percussion since 2014. I have taught marching percussion (both drum line and front ensemble), concert percussion (mallets, snare, and timpani), drum set (rock, funk, metal, country, and CCM), and music theory/aural skills. I have a BM in Music, BS in Music Education, and a MM in Percussion, and I am currently working on my DMA in Percussion. I am a very patient and empathetic teacher: I place students first, and cater lessons to what students want to learn. Music is an incredibly personal pursuit, so learning happens best when students take ownership and help determine the course of their own instruction.

Why should I take classical guitar lessons?

At what age should I start classical guitar lessons?

Children generally begin their classical guitar journey between the ages of 6 to 10, or as soon as they can hold the instrument well with enough hand strength to press the strings. Adults of all ages can master the instrument with the correct guidance and consistent practice.

How many classical guitar lessons do I need?

The number of weekly classical guitar lessons you need will depend on your personal goals and dedication to practice. A beginner might grasp a simple song within 2 to 6 months, but acquiring proficiency like a professional requires 4 to 10 years on average.

  • Ask fellow parents about their children's experiences with the tutor.
  • Secure a written agreement and schedule prior to the first session.
