Guitar lessons

At Muziekacademie Amsterdam we offer guitar lessons for kids from the age of 6 and up.

Our guitar lessons for children are specially designed for young, aspiring guitarists. The lessons are engaging and focus on developing a strong technical foundation while making the learning process enjoyable and interactive.

Key Highlights:

• Solid Technique: Our dedicated instructors will guide the student through the essentials of guitar technique. They will learn proper hand placement and finger coordination right from the start.
• Posture: We emphasize the importance of correct and relaxed posture to ensure students’ comfort and lay the groundwork for a lifetime of effortless guitar playing.
• Fun-Filled Learning: Learning music should be enjoyable! Through interactive games, creative exercises, and engaging activities, we keep kids excited about their musical journey. From musical games to themed practice challenges, we ensure a joyful learning experience.
• Musical Fundamentals: While having a great time, students will also hone essential musical skills such as tone development and rhythm. They’ll learn a strong sense of timing, setting the stage for their musical growth.
• Music Reading: Our lessons place a strong emphasis on music reading and comprehension. Kids will gradually build their proficiency in reading sheet music, tabs, and chord sheets, allowing them to explore a wide range of songs and genres.

In our lessons for pre-teens and teenagers, we place a strong focus on each student’s individual goals and music preferences, in addition to all the above. This approach ensures that students stay motivated and continue to learn new skills and techniques while playing their favorite songs.

In addition to our individual lessons, we also offer band workshops for kids from the age of 10 where all students, starting at an advanced beginner level, are welcome to join and learn all about playing, rehearsing, and, of course, performing with a band!
