Electric Guitar Lessons
(AGES FIVE AND UP)
Overview
Our guitar instructors teach rock, blues, metal, country and classical styles on both electric and acoustic guitars. Beginners work on chords, simple songs and melodies, sight reading and theory. Each lesson will challenge you with a new technique or music theory, and ends with something fun – such as your favorite riff or song. We employ a variety of guitar resources based on student needs and preferences, and encourage students to bring smartphones to their lessons to learn their favorite tunes.
What’s the #1 reason to study acoustic guitar at Manasquan Music Academy?
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.
Should I learn acoustic or electric?
If your goal is to learn primarily electric styles, specifically rock, metal or band style shredding, then electric guitar is for you. If you prefer a more classic approach to learning guitar, chords, variations and their functionality, then acoustic guitar is the way to go.
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 guitar and music instructors have received their education from institutions such as The Berklee College of Music, Rutgers, Rowan, Cairn University, Monmouth University, and Brookdale. Many have toured the US, and continue to gig out at local venues!Our seasoned instructors will draw upon years of playing, performing, and teaching experience to guide you in improving your skills and exploring the many possibilities of your instrument, and advancing toward your goals at a pace that works for you.
What will I learn from guitar lessons at the Manasquan Music 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 challenge or theory concept, and ends with something fun, such as your favorite riff or song.
Do I need to purchase a guitar to learn the instrument?
Manasquan Music Academy offers acoustic and electric guitars for student lessons (for your convenience, students can use one of ours at their first lesson). But to practice at home, you will need a guitar. We offer a variety of instruments appropriate for beginners, starting at just $89.00.
