Guitar lessons at Solar Music Academy help students develop technical mastery, musical expression, and confidence on the instrument. Lessons are tailored for all levels, from beginners learning their first chord to advanced players preparing for auditions or performances.

Our approach is systematic and practical, using students’ favorite songs to teach the techniques, musical vocabulary, and stylistic skills that are unique to the guitar. This ensures that students not only learn efficiently but also apply their skills to the music they love.

Our guitar curriculum covers:

• Left-hand fretting technique and touch to produce clear, precise notes and expressive slides, hammer-ons, and pull-offs

• Right-hand picking techniques, including fingerpicking, hybrid picking, and dynamic plucking

• Strum patterns and advanced comping for rhythmic versatility and accompaniment skills

• Fretboard mastery, including scales, chords, and navigation across positions for improvisation and composition

• Articulation and tone to shape musical expression through dynamics, phrasing, and vibrato

• Improvisation and composition, developing original melodies and musical ideas

• Reading music, including notation, rhythm, and sight-reading

• Performance and audition preparation, building confidence, timing, and stage presence

This comprehensive program ensures students gain technical skill, creative ability, and the confidence to perform and compose with versatility and musicality.
