The Academy has plenty of free parking, and is located right in the heart of the Murrieta Town Center - near restaurants, stores, and other awesome spots!

Frequently Asked Questions About Guitar Lessons

See below for the most frequently asked questions about guitar lessons. If you have a question that is not listed here, please contact us at 951-698-9891 for assistance.

Yes, we do recommend having a guitar at home. If the student is a teenager or an adult, a full-size guitar is in order. Some younger students may benefit from a junior (Jr.) guitar. Our office is happy to provide recommendations for students at any time. Furthermore, we have a large array of rental instruments available for students at affordable rates, so you can begin lessons at any time without thinking of the arduous process of picking out a guitar – we did all the hard work for you. Just show up and jam! 

For guitar lessons we recommend waiting until 6-7 years of age. In some cases where the desire is great, we will do a short evaluation of a younger student to see if they are physically and mentally ready to start. For students under the age of 6, we will highly recommend starting on the ukulele, and transitioning to guitar lessons once the student is old enough to handle the instrument. 

Absolutely! Our guitar lessons are designed for beginners with little to no background in music, as well as advanced guitarists who have been jamming their entire lives!

Studies show that weekly lessons provide consistent guidance, feedback, and structure for the best results. However, the frequency can be adjusted to your personalized schedule, goals, and learning style. For guitar students, we often recommend supplementing private lessons with group experiences, including the Academy Rock Bandz. Although completely optional, these experiences allow for a well-rounded musical education once a student reaches a certain level.

Great news! There is no set answer to this question. With regular practice, you will notice improvement in as short of a span as a few weeks, while playing at a more advanced level will naturally take longer. The majority of our students continue guitar lessons for the long term because they love consistently improving, finding our lessons stimulating and enjoyable.
