OUR TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
The Garrett Park School of Music was founded on the belief of sharing our passion for music with our community. Lessons began humbly in the 90s as customers would come to us to sharpen their skills. As the years went on, the school gradually grew to become what it is today. By cultivating an environment for creative expression, our hope is to give back the freedom that music has given to us. And so we teach.
Our teachers take the time to understand the goals of each guitar student and will set a plan to achieve those goals during their lessons. As with any type of lesson, students must be prepared to practice their instrument every day and prepare questions for their teacher as they learn.
OUR LESSON ROOMS & TEACHERS
Garrett Park School of Music offers guitar lessons with private one-on-one instruction in private lesson rooms for beginner guitar lessons, intermediate guitar lessons, and the advanced guitar student who wants to take advanced guitar lessons.
Our highly qualified, verified, & vetted guitar instructors come from a diverse background and regularly play shows the DMV area. Their varying professional knowledge adds value to your lesson and their varying taste in music ensures you will have a great guitar teacher matched to your musical style preference during your guitar lessons.
AGES TAUGHT
We believe that "age is only a number", but we also want to make sure it's the right time for lessons. Our typical starting age for lessons is 4 years old for piano or voice, and 6 years old for any string or wind instrument. We understand that every student is different. If you're unsure if it's time to take lessons, please give us a call at 410-571-9660 or stop by the store and we can assess your child.
