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.

What type of Guitar should I buy?

This is a question that depends on a variety of factors, including your body size and musical preferences. Most guitar instructors recommend nylon string guitars to beginners because the lower string tension is less taxing on the player’s fingers. Discuss this question with your Guitar Teacher, who will be happy to advise you on your best option(s).

Do I need to tune my own guitar?

Yes, being able to tune your guitar comes with being a guitarist, and you’ll certainly learn that as part of your guitar lessons!

Why Kids and Adults Alike Love Guitar Lessons

Playing the Guitar helps you make new friends!

While the Guitar sounds awesome even when played by itself (solo), more often than not, guitarists play together with other musicians–often to accompany a singer or as a member of a band. That’s why it’s easy for guitarists to make new friends! And it’s so easy to transport. Grab your guitar and take it anywhere!

There is so much guitar music and so many different types of guitar to explore! From classical guitar music to rock, pop, country, metal, and an endless variety of other contemporary styles. If you don’t know your favorite guitar music yet, you WILL find it!

From Beginner to Advanced Guitar Lessons

As students progress on the guitar, the music they learn becomes more challenging and Guitar Lessons naturally become more involved. At some point, it will make sense to switch from 30-minute lessons to 60-minute lessons simply because there is a lot more to cover in their lessons. At MAT, we have Guitar Instructors specializing in each of the phases of growth you will experience, from beginner to advanced.
