What You’ll Learn in Our Guitar Lessons

Strumming, Rhythm, and Timing

Students develop steady rhythm through strumming patterns, timing exercises, and coordinated hand movement. Instruction emphasizes groove, consistency, and musical feel using metronomes and guided practice.

Chords, Transitions, and Song Foundations

Lessons focus on building common chord shapes and smooth transitions used across many styles. Students develop muscle memory and coordination that allow them to play recognizable music early while continuing to expand harmonic skills.

Technique, Hand Position, and Tone Control

Proper posture, hand alignment, tuning, and efficient movement are introduced early to support clean tone and long-term comfort. Technique instruction helps students avoid tension and develop control across the instrument.

Scales, Tabs, and Fretboard Awareness

As students progress, lessons introduce scale patterns and reading guitar tablature. These skills support melodic playing, improvisation, and independent learning while improving overall fretboard understanding.

My son has been enrolled at Angeles Academy of Music for 2 months and we love it here. He is 7.5 and is taking piano lessons for the first time with Tori. She's amazing with kids and he is having fun and learning so much. I love how they tailor what he learns to his interests. Definitely recommend for families looking to introduce their kids to the joy of a musical education.
