GUITAR LESSONS

We teach our students not only how to play their instrument, but also how to 'learn how to learn' - a critical skill which students can then apply to any field they choose.

OUR STUDENTS LOVE US!

My daughter recently started taking guitar lessons at Village Youth Conservatory with Jason. He is a skilled guitarist, friendly and high energy. His passion for guitar shines through. In a few short months my daughter has learned a tremendous amount and has even gotten a few tips on the Berklee application process from him!
