Come experience the best guitar lessons in Baltimore. Our expert instructors share their love of music through to all kinds of students – from the youngest beginners who have never held a guitar to seasoned musicians looking to sharpen and expand their skills. With a curriculum focused on learning scales, chords, music theory and improvisation in a fun environment, Stages gives students the skills to rock out, gain confidence and become well-rounded musicians in a fun and safe environment. Speaking of rocking out, all students are also given opportunities to write and record original music using technology in the lesson room, and perform at recitals.
In beginner guitar lessons, instructors start with the foundations of guitar-playing – basic scales, chords, rhythm, theory and reading music. Before long, students will be able to strum along to their favorite songs and even play guitar solos. Through weekly lessons at our facility just outside of Baltimore, instructors will inspire the musical imaginations of students, turning them into confident, skilled musicians through weekly lessons. Stages’ motto – Learn. Perform. Record. – means that all students, including beginners, get to experience the joy and exhilaration of recording and performing music, whether at a recital or through one of our band programs.
Intermediate and advanced lessons build and expand on the foundational concepts that guitar students learn in their beginner lessons. Instructors focus on deeper knowledge of theory, scales, chords and rhythm, as well as improvisation, advanced guitar knowledge, composition and recording. Students can show off their first-class skills at recitals and learn how to be part of a musical team as a member of a band in one of our group programs.
