Many people dream of being able to play guitar but never quite get around to it, or are put off by early attempts at trying to learn by themselves. But it's never too late! With a professional teacher to coach and motivate you, progress is quicker and you'll soon be able to put together chords and play songs.
If you are interested in learning to play guitar, or taking your guitar skills to another level, Take5 can offer lessons in acoustic and electric guitar, from absolute beginners to advanced players looking to improve their technique or hone their performance and songwriting skills.
In your lessons, you will play the music you love and learn by playing together with your teacher. You'll learn chords, scales and strumming techniques as you play songs, and you will progress naturally through reading chord, tab and musical notation. Lessons can cover different styles of music depending on your interest, but will also explore other styles and techniques to make sure you become a rounded musician. If you're interested in singing as well, you'll be able to sing and develop your vocal technique as you learn your instrument.
Theory is an integral part of learning music and becoming a musician, but Pino teaches theory by integrating it with playing your guitar. You'll practice your scales by playing lead-breaks in songs. Key concepts will be gradually introduced as you learn to keep it interesting and relevant to you.
If you are already experienced on guitar, we will assess your skills and work on strengthening any gaps in your technique and theory. You'll be encouraged and challenged to sharpen your technique, broaden your skills and notation reading, but also to develop your musicianship and creativity as a guitarist. We can also help you to develop your performance and songwriting skills.
