Guitar Lessons

We believe that the guitar is the most versatile of all musical instruments, and we have an excellent team of professional guitarists ready to teach you here in the heart of Lisburn at The Musician Academy. Not only are our guitar teachers incredibly skilled on their intruments, but they are also working musicians, in addition to being highly experienced teachers. You have the flexibility to choose whether you want to learn electric or acoustic guitar (or both!), as well as learning a vast array of musical genres and techniques as you progress through your 1-1 lessons. Furthermore, our music tutors are extremely experienced in delivering both RSL (Rockschool) and LCM (London College of Music) syllabi for guitar, so you also have the option of sitting your grades if you so choose. The possibilities are endless!
