guitar lessons
SUNDAY 4:00-5:30pm
This program is continuous entry for total beginners right up to upper-intermediate level guitar players. The lessons are facilitated via the “hummingbird method”. The instructor will meet you where you are at with individual attention and instruction within a group atmosphere. There is room for more advanced players to collaborate freely or to work on their skills. Drop-ins are welcome at any time. Come and try it out, see if it’s a fit for you. Bring your own guitar or use one of ours. We have guitars to loan out.
Acoustic, electric, classical, standard or bass guitar: all types of learners are welcome! We meet Sundays from 4:00 to 5:30 pm (except long weekends).
