Kids Can Play Guitar, Too!
Limited Capacity seats available
Let’s be honest, “introductory guitar” sounds super boring. But being able to sing and play like Taylor Swift and John Lennon? That's the whole point of music! In this workshop, we'll show you our secret strategy to get any kid (or parent) playing single-note melodies in 10 minutes or less. We mean it when we say: we've made the guitar accessible to everyone. Even you, you rockstar parent, you.

Bring your own Guitar or ukulele (if you have it!)

For ages 4-8.
