Private Guitar Lessons vs. Self-Teaching: What Are the Benefits?

When diving into guitar playing, you might be curious about the value of private guitar lessons vs. self-taught methods like online tutorials. While online resources can be a good resource for going over some of the basics, they lack the personal touch of a professional guitar instructor.


The instructors at our Greater Boston music school all hold 4-year degrees at a minimum and are active in the local music scene. They offer expertise that goes beyond online tutorials and can tailor guitar lessons to your skills and goals, identifying challenges, discussing music theory, and providing valuable feedback along the way. A computer screen can't match this personalized experience.


What's the Best Age to Begin Guitar Lessons?

Music is deeply personal, and your lessons should reflect that. At Boston Drum Lessons, our guitar instructors focus on your unique connection to music, nurturing self-expression in every session. While some may think that their chance at learning a new instrument has passed them by, we believe that you can learn to play guitar at any age -- whether you're a child or adult. 

Our adult guitar lessons suit all experience levels, whether you're revisiting past skills or starting anew. For children, our customized guitar classes blend favorite songs with cognitive growth, fostering a love for music from an early age.


In essence, our custom guitar lesson plans ensure an exceptional experience for every student, regardless of age or expertise. Whether you're an adult rediscovering your musical passion, seeking a new hobby, or a parent searching for the perfect guitar lessons for children, our personalized approach guarantees the enriching experience you desire.
