4. What a Typical Lesson Looks Like

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

  • 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!
