Guitar lessons for beginners start with the fundamentals, including scales, chords, tuning, arpeggios, and rhythm. Songs are carefully selected to help guide students through the early stages of their musical development. These guitar lessons are designed to inspire students to pursue their goals while ensuring that the learning process is also enjoyable.

Lessons designed for intermediate and more advanced players are tailored to build on the skills that students have developed through their previous guitar lessons and guitar playing experience.

Guitar lesson programmes can be tailored to meet specific student requirements and can also focus on the Rockschool Grade Syllabus, making them ideal for beginners looking to learn guitar.
Tuition is currently provided in person on a one-to-one basis tailored to each student's ability and musical taste. For those interested in guitar for beginners, we also offer remote online structured lessons. Each guitar lesson lasts either half an hour or one hour, and we ensure that time is left between teaching slots, so if you book an hour, you receive a full hour!
Available on weekdays only, in the afternoons and evenings, I offer guitar lessons suitable for beginners and intermediate level guitarists. I encourage you to contact me to check availability, and I will always strive to be as flexible as possible.
Tuition prices for guitar lessons are £15 for a half-hour lesson and £25 for a full hour. If you're new to playing, the first half-hour introductory lesson is free, making it an excellent opportunity for beginners to start learning guitar.
A discount is available when you book and pay for a block of 8 or more guitar lessons with a Ballymena guitar teacher in advance. If you're interested in guitar for beginners or want to know more, feel free to call or contact me for additional details.
Typically, 24 hours notice is expected for cancellations. If you need to cancel your guitar lessons with less than 24 hours notice, a cancellation fee may apply unless there are exceptional circumstances.
If you have any questions or need more information about guitar lessons please ring or email Julian. We also offer guidance for those looking to start their journey with guitar for beginners.
