Guitar Lessons For Kids in Brooklyn

Children aged 5-7 take lessons on correctly-sized Loog guitars at our music studio. These are closer to the feel of real guitar than a ukulele, but they still fit your child’s reach comfortably.

Your child can learn in a fun classroom environment, one-on-one with an instructor, or in an online medium where lessons can happen anywhere.

What Will Your Child Learn in Guitar Lessons?

Our young students learn how to play tunes and chords on their guitar right from the beginning (along with backing tracks) – we want kids to start having fun with the instrument as quickly as possible. Your child will also learn how to read notes, understand guitar tablature, identify notes on the guitar strings, identify time signatures, and more!

We want students to become complete musicians, not just guitar players.

Do We Teach Kids How To Practice The Guitar?

Yes! In fact, that’s arguably the most important thing we do at Williamsburg Music Studio. Lesson materials are important, but we want your child to be able to improve on his or her own at home. We will assign practice materials each week, and as your child progresses, we will introduce practice strategies and concepts that will keep them moving forward even when a teacher is not available.
