In the last 100 years, the guitar has had an enormous impact on the way we hear music. Spanning across multiple genres, from Hendrix to Segovia, the sound of the guitar has become an integral part of our musical environment.

It's no wonder then that more people take lessons on the guitar than any other instrument. Maybe you've been thinking about taking lessons too, but you're a little overwhelmed by how much there is to learn. That's why it's important to have a good teacher to break things down and help you understand at your own pace. At Encore Music Lessons we help students to get in touch with experienced instructors.

Beginning students can learn basics like playing open chords, using strumming patterns, and playing simple songs. Intermediate students can focus on topics like improvisation using pentatonic scales, bar chords, and picking technique. Advanced students may want to examine the music of specific artists, or learn to play a particular style.

Whatever it is you're looking for, we want to help. Students are matched with teachers based on their location, schedule, ability level, and any other criteria that the student feels is relevant. The matching process generally takes a day, so most people can start lessons very soon after contacting us. If you'd like to find out more about us and how we work, please call us at 212-537-6746 or 800-417-4620.
