Best Guitar Lessons near Lakewood, WA

Tuned In was an Oasis approved Community Based Facility. Sadly, while we much appreciate programs like that, the administrative responsibilities, costs, lag time between payment, just make it not feasible for a non-profit like ours.

We sure do. We also teach viola and cello, and we have two wonderful faculty to choose from (one regular faculty member and one associate faculty member). Call today to enroll!

Yes of course! Our musician-educators love to teach, and so if private instruction is what you want and need, we are here for you to meet that need. And we love teaching private lessons too! The one-on-one mentor model is a lot of fun, relational, and highly effective.

We recommend and accept private students for piano at around six. The same is true for piano group classes, depending on the child. We will sometimes accept five-year-old piano students, beginning with fifteen-minute lessons. Drums and ukulele, we suggest starting at seven or older. Guitar may be workable at eight and up, though nine or ten is usually better. The same is true with wind instruments generally. Recorder is fairly accessible from six and up. We do teach our Step in Tune class, which is an immersion based elementary music class to students between three and five. For private voice lessons, we recommend no younger than eight. All of these are rather general, there are always exceptions, but any instrument requires a bit of physical involvement as well as attention and focus that these ages consider.

While this varies by individual and instrument, most students that put forth serious effort can begin playing simple songs om their instrument within a few weeks, and more involved even full-page pieces by around eight weeks. Many piano and guitar students will begin playing chords by around three to four months, if not sooner.
