Thinking about guitar lessons at home for your child or yourself? Whether you’re in Franklin, Brentwood, or one of Nashville’s surrounding neighborhoods, at-home guitar instruction is becoming a popular (and practical) choice for busy families and working adults.

If you’re wondering how it all works, here’s exactly what to expect when starting guitar lessons at your home with ROOTS.

1. A Teacher Who Comes to You

No more sitting in traffic, rushing through dinner, or scrambling to find parking. With music lessons at home, a professional guitar teacher arrives at your doorstep—right on schedule.

ROOTS instructors are experienced, background-checked musicians who know how to make learning fun and accessible for all ages.

2. A Lesson Plan That Matches Your Goals

Whether you’re learning chords for the first time or preparing to join a band, our curriculum meets you where you are. Lessons are customized for:

• Total beginners

• Intermediate students

• Songwriters and performers

• Acoustic or electric guitar

We’ll match you with a teacher who fits your style, skill level, and musical goals.

3. What You Need to Get Started

The basics include:

• A well-tuned guitar (acoustic or electric)

• A small amp (if electric)

• A chair without armrests

• A quiet, well-lit room

• A notebook or lesson binder

Need help selecting gear? We can recommend student-friendly guitars and accessories based on age and experience.

4. What a Typical Lesson Looks Like

Guitar lessons at home usually last 30, 45, or 60 minutes. A typical session includes:

• Warm-up or review

• Technique and drills (chords, strumming, scales)

• Song practice

• Light theory (as needed)

• Q&A and assignment for the week

Our teachers keep it interactive, positive, and age-appropriate—whether you’re 8 or 48.

5. How Parents Can Support Practice

For younger students, parents can help by:

• Creating a consistent time and space for practice

• Celebrating progress (even small wins)

• Keeping the guitar in an easy-to-access spot

• Encouraging short, frequent practice sessions

No musical experience required—we’ll guide you!
