LEARN GUITAR. GET ROCK BAND READY.

EDMONTON'S GUITAR LESSONS THAT ROCK

GO FROM COMPLETE BEGINNER TO ROCK-BAND-READY IN JUST SIX MONTHS.

Your child wants to learn crazy riffs on guitar. But you know that learning guitar on your own can be frustrating and lonely. It can also be oh-so-boring.

Intro to Guitar makes learning fun and motivates your child to keep learning by giving them the goal of being able to play in their very own Jr. Rock Band at the end of their session.

Book your free trial and let your child experience the fun for themselves!

Learn where you are in Your Backbeat Journey and see where your music can take you.   

INTRO TO GUITAR LEVEL I

  • There's no better time to start learning guitar! Intro to Guitar will introduce your child to what they need to know on guitar and will teach them what they need to know to join a Jr. Rock Band! Whether your child has finished our Bigger Beats program or is first starting to learn guitar, this is the class for them.
  • PREREQUISITE: None
  • PROGRAM LENGTH: 24 weeks

INTRO TO GUITAR LEVEL II

  • Let's keep a good thing going! Intro to Guitar - Level II will build on what your child learned in Level I while challenging them to explore new techniques and musical territory. Level II is also the perfect class to take while your child is in our Junior Rock Band program.
  • PREREQUISITE: Intro to Guitar - Level I or a placement jam.*
  • PROGRAM LENGTH: 24 weeks

* A placement jam is when we invite you and your child in for a relaxed, 15 minute jam session so we can see where they're at on their instrument. This allows us to recommend the program that's best suited to them.

WHAT EXACTLY IS INTRO TO GUITAR?  

Intro to Guitar will give your child the perfect introduction to guitar in an "out of the box" way.  We have a custom curriculum that uses rock classics and kid-centered teaching techniques to get your child pumped about guitar while challenging them to grow as a musician.

ARE PRIVATE GUITAR LESSONS BETTER FOR MY CHILD?  

Not necessarily. While one-on-one guitar lessons have become the typical starting place for many beginner guitar players, we believe "typical" doesn't always equal best.

When it comes to music, kids really benefit from learning to play music with others.  Intro to Guitar gives your child the chance to do exactly this in a way that private guitar lessons can't.

Private guitar lessons are a great option as your child gets more advanced with guitar. They're also a good option if your child tends to struggle with learning in a group.

HOW DO I KNOW IF INTRO TO GUITAR IS RIGHT FOR MY CHILD?

If your child is between the ages of 7 and 10 and they're first starting to learn guitar, then Intro to Guitar is a great choice for them.

Intro to Guitar is also the perfect next step for students who have completed our Bigger Beats program.

The small group environment keeps learning relaxed and fun while infusing some extra awesome energy into their learning experience.

CURIOUS ABOUT JUNIOR ROCK BAND?

Junior Rock Band is an awesome way for your 8-10 year old to experience what it's like to play in a band and develop the skills they need to hold their own when playing in a group. Add to that a serious level of fun and the chance to rock out on stage in front of family and friends and you've got a seriously rad combo!

PRIVATE GUITAR LESSONS

If you feel like your child would do better in a one-on-one guitar lesson, we have good news! We also offer unique private guitar lessons that will meet your child where they're at and allow them to grow at their own pace.
