What size guitar does my child need?

As a general rule, students up to about age 5 often start on a quarter-size guitar, older children typically use a half or three-quarter size, and most adults play a full-size guitar. Your instructor will confirm the right fit at your first lesson.

How much are guitar lessons in Katy or Houston?

Starting at $50 per 30 minutes.

Should my child start on acoustic or electric guitar?

Most beginners start on a nylon-string or steel-string acoustic guitar to build finger strength and technique. Electric guitar is a great option once basic technique is in place, or immediately for highly motivated students.

Do I need to own a guitar before starting lessons?

We recommend having your own guitar for home practice; ask your instructor for size and budget recommendations before your first lesson.

In terms of popularity and musical versatility, the Guitar comes in as a close second to the Piano. The rise of Pop, Rock, Country, Jazz, and many other types of popular music would have been unthinkable without the sound of the Guitar! That’s why the instrument is so popular with students of all ages. In addition to its musical and cultural appeal, the guitar also comes in different sizes to fit players of all ages and body types.

Guitar Sizes

Guitars come in several sizes — 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and full size (4/4) — so every player, regardless of age, can find a comfortable fit. As a general guide, students up to about age 5 often start on a quarter-size guitar, older children typically move to a half or three-quarter size, and most adults play a full-size guitar (players with smaller hands sometimes prefer a 7/8 size). Your instructor will help confirm the right size at your first lesson.

Guitar Types

Depending on instrument materials, shapes, and tone production, there is an exciting variety of guitar types to suit your musical tastes and preferences! They each produce a different, characteristic guitar sound. Your choices range from nylon string guitar (a great choice for beginners), acoustic guitar (with steel strings), electric guitar (with amplification and endless electronic “distortions”) to jazz guitar (archtop), among other types and variations.
