P L E A S E   N O T E : 

   🎵 Students will need an acoustic or classical guitar, or an electric guitar plugged into an amp.
   🎵 Students must tune their guitar BEFORE class starts. We will send resources to help you do so, but this takes lots of our class time to do & it's difficult to help each student individually.
   🎵 Absolutely NO previous guitar experience required!

Here at Mini Musicians Studio we believe that music education isn't just about learning a new skill or hobby, but it's about a student building 𝘾𝙊𝙉𝙉𝙀𝘾𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉𝙎, 𝘾𝙊𝙉𝙁𝙄𝘿𝙀𝙉𝘾𝙀, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘾𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙑𝙄𝙏𝙔.

We've found that one of the best ways to reach children through music education is through modern instruments and technology-- this is why we focus our classes on guitar, ukulele, and music production with GarageBand.

We're so excited to welcome your kiddo into the Mini Musicians community!
