Has your child expressed an interest in playing a musical instrument?

Junior Group Guitar is for children up to aged 12 years, who want to learn the necessary skills to play guitar.

The class is for complete beginners and is structured to help your child learn right from the start with the goal of being able to jam along to their favourite song in no time. We can supply instruments for the class on a first come, first served basis. You can also benefit from our instrument loan scheme in partnership with Music-On-Sea.

Class Outline for your child

  • Learn techniques to establish a consistent rhythm and develop dexterity in your hands – essential skills for playing the guitar

  • Learn about the instrument, including how to tune it, what all the components are called, and how they all work

  • Determine whether you prefer acoustic or electric guitar

  • Learn the notes on the guitar, various chord progressions, and how to read a basic tab

The children do not need to be able to read music to attend this class: everyone will be guided and taught as we go.

You are welcome to apply for financial support to attend this class. To find out more about this scheme, including the criteria for eligibility click here.
