Guitar Lessons

We treat every student as an individual, with personal musical needs and goals. We make it a priority to tailor how we teach and what we teach to your individual needs.

‍If you enroll here for guitar lessons, we will ask you about your favorite type of music, and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child. Together, we will develop a plan to achieve your goals! We love beginners, so even if you don’t know where to begin, we can help!

We teach all styles, from rock, pop, jazz, and blues to metal, country and classical guitar – on acoustic guitars. ‍

‍We are highly qualified, have teaching experience, and most importantly, have a passion for teaching. Being a musician doesn’t automatically make you a teacher–that’s why we search for those who are best qualified for mentoring our music students!

We search the entire area for the top teachers, who embody the high values at Roanoke Music School. Most importantly, we strive to relate our teaching to each individual student’s learning style. We have years of professional performance and teaching experience. In addition to our teaching credentials, we have warm personalities, are extremely friendly, and strive to get to know each student and their parents on a personal level. 

We are warm and friendly, and get to know each student and parent on a personal level. We work with you to craft a lesson plan that fits your individual needs and the student’s favorite type of music. Whether you’re playing in local bands, a seven year old taking their first lesson, or a fifty year old returning to the piano after many years, we’ll set goals to achieve your musical aspirations.

Every student progresses at a different pace, but most beginners can start playing simple songs within the first few months of guitar lessons. With consistent weekly lessons and regular practice at home, students typically build strong foundational skills within the first year.

Learning guitar is a long-term skill that develops over time. Some students enjoy playing for fun and personal growth, while others choose to pursue more advanced techniques and performance opportunities. Our goal is to help each student in Roanoke build confidence, enjoy the process, and steadily improve at a pace that feels encouraging and achievable.

‍Yes. Even if you don’t have a musical background you can ask the teacher for advice on how to help your child practice. By simply monitoring that they are doing exercises a certain number of times per day the student will progress. Lesson videos/notes will also be sent to the parents after each lesson to help them understand what the child is working on and how they can help.
