What’s the #1 reason to study guitar at Tribeca Music?
Our guitar instructors are warm and friendly, and get to know each student and parent on a personal level. We work with you to craft a lesson plan that fits your individual needs and the student's favorite type of music. Whether you're playing in local bands, a seven year old taking their first lesson, or a fifty year old returning to the guitar after many years, we’ll set goals to achieve your musical aspirations.
What styles of guitar do you teach?
We teach all styles, from rock, pop, jazz, and blues to metal, country and classical guitar – on electric and acoustic guitars.
How qualified are your guitar instructors?
Our faculty have received their musical education from prestigious institutions such as New York University, Mannes School of Music, and Oberlin Conservatory of Music. Each teacher has years of professional performance experience, formal training, years of teaching experience of all ages, and specialized knowledge of a large range of musical styles.
What will I learn from guitar lessons at the Academy?
Beginner guitar students can expect to work on chords, simple songs and melodies, sight reading and theory. Our instructors balance musicianship and fun by making sure that each lesson presents a new technical challenges or theory concept, and ends with something fun, such as your favorite riff or song. We use a variety of guitar method books, and encourage students to bring their smartphone or CDs to their lesson to learn their favorite tunes.
Do I need to purchase a guitar to learn the instrument?
Yes, you will need a guitar for your lessons. You can find our recommendations HERE.
Are there recitals?
Absolutely! Every December and June, our students have the opportunity to perform in world class recital halls throughout NYC. Unlike most of our competitors, we do not charge students a fee to perform. And admission is free, so you can invite all of your family and friends.
“Our two kids are having a great experience learning guitar. Our teacher is kind, talented, and punctual. Having a teacher come to your home is a huge plus and makes scheduling so much easier. The kids love their time and look forward to weekly lessons. I strongly recommend Tribeca Music! -Samir
At Tribeca Music we offer more than guitar lessons! We are proud to offer many popular instruments with expert teachers. This makes it convenient for students who wish to study more than one instrument, or for siblings within a family who want to pursue different instruments.
