Unleash The Guitarist Within You
You have a guitar at home, or one on your shopping list, and you do not know where to learn. Our guitar lessons in Singapore are individual lessons built around you, for children and adults at every level. You can learn on acoustic or electric guitar, and you do not need any musical background.
We start by finding out where you are now and what you want to play. Then we build a learning plan around your pace. Lessons cover guitar technique, scales, music theory, and ear training. If you are working toward an audition or an exam, we plan for that too. You can book a trial lesson first, and we can lend you a guitar to use in class.
Playing the guitar is more than creating captivating riffs and melodies. It sharpens your concentration and enhances memory through stimulating key areas of the brain.
4 lessons range from $260 to $360
Can Anyone Learn to Play the Guitar?
Yes. If you’ve dreamed of strumming your favourite songs or mastering guitar solos, rest assured that anyone can learn. Guitar playing develops through practice and proper guidance, as every skill does.
You’ve probably encountered these common misconceptions:
- “I have no musical talent.” Everyone has a natural ability to appreciate and create music. It’s about nurturing that spark with dedication and perseverance.
- “My fingers are too short/big.” While finger size influences technique, it doesn’t determine your ability to play. Many renowned guitarists have thrived despite similar concerns.
- “I need an expensive guitar to sound good.” Great sound comes from skill and technique, not price tags. Quality beginner guitars produce excellent music when played well.
Don’t let these myths hold you back. Our personalised guitar lessons for beginners are designed to address your unique challenges and help you reach your goals.
Are Guitar Lessons Right for Kids and Adults?
Yes. Our guitar lessons in Singapore are open to people of all ages and skill levels. You can learn acoustic or electric guitar, and your goals can be anything from stage performance to personal expression. Every lesson is tailored to your learning style and your objectives.

Guitar is not the right first instrument for every child. Most children under six are still building the fine motor skills a guitar needs. For them, our ukulele lessons or our Music Exploration course are a gentler start. A child who starts at six or seven can have ten years of guitar behind them by sixteen or seventeen, if they keep going.
If you would rather learn alongside other people, our group guitar classes teach guitar in a small class instead.
What Happens in Our Guitar Classes in Singapore?
Your teacher builds a personalised plan around your goals and your current level. The plan covers guitar technique, scales, music theory, and ear training, and you follow it at your own pace, whatever your music background. Every lesson is tailored to your needs and learning style.
We believe in making learning to play the guitar fun and effective. We want you to understand musical concepts, not just memorise chord shapes. We also encourage creativity and expression, so you can play the music you enjoy.
What Do Our Guitar Students Say?
"Its been a year since I've been at this music school. Its honestly just amazing. Whichever instrument, whatever song I want, I can learn. The teachers are very kind, always wanting to teach more. I also do jam sessions where we just play and have a good time together. The environment is also really cozy and I feel right at home. I can stay there for hours and would never want to leave.
I would definitely recommend Groove Music School to anyone who wants to enjoy and play music. All the teachers will welcome you warmly."
"Philip is an exceptional guitar teacher; nurturing, patient, cool. Under his guidance, my daughter not only appreciates but also excels in playing her instrument. Just completed her grade 8 electric guitar…in under 5 years! Very grateful for Philip who cultivated her passion for music from day one."
"I’ve been learning Electric guitar from Philip for many years and just received a 3rd degree distinction in my grade 8. If you are passionate about guitar and want to have fun learning it Philip and is the right teacher for you."
Ready to Book a Guitar Trial Lesson?
You do not need to buy a guitar before your first lesson. We can lend you one to use in class, and a trial lets you meet your teacher first. A borrowed guitar is fine for lessons. It is not enough for steady progress, so if you plan to practise at home, we suggest getting your own.
FAQs about Guitar Classes
At what age is it best to start guitar lessons?
Generally, ages 6-7 are considered a good starting point. This is when many children have developed enough fine motor skills and coordination to hold and play the guitar. If your child is younger, a great alternative is ukulele. There is no upper age limit, so adults can start at any age.
Can I learn to play guitar without any previous musical experience?
Absolutely! Our guitar lessons are designed for beginners and advanced players of all ages. Our lessons are highly customisable.
How long does it usually take for a beginner to develop basic guitar skills?
This varies depending on individual practice and dedication, but many beginners can develop basic skills and play several songs using simple chords within a few months of guitar lessons. Our guide to how long it takes to learn guitar covers the timeline in more detail.
What can I expect during my first guitar lesson?
We’ll start by assessing your current skill level and setting goals. You’ll learn basic chord shapes, strumming patterns, and may even start playing a simple song.
Do you provide guitars for students, or should I bring my own?
We can provide guitars for you to use during your guitar lessons, but we encourage you to invest in your own instrument if you plan to practice regularly at home. Having your own guitar will allow for more consistent practice and help you see faster progress. Not sure what to buy? Read our guide to choosing a beginner acoustic guitar.
Should I learn to play the acoustic guitar or electric guitar?
It depends on your personal preferences and playing goals. Acoustic guitars offer a natural tone and are portable, while electric guitars provide a wider range of sounds. We offer trials to help you discover your perfect match! Our acoustic vs electric guitar guide goes into more detail.
What are your guitar lesson prices?
Our guitar classes are priced at $260-$360 for four lessons.
Can you help me prepare for a guitar audition or exam?
Absolutely! We can work together to develop a personalised plan that addresses your specific audition or exam requirements. We have helped many students prepare for exams, many of whom have gotten merit and distinctions. That could also be you!
What makes a good guitar teacher?
A good guitar teacher is patient, adaptable, and passionate. They provide clear explanations, positive reinforcement, and support to help you succeed. They make it all about you! Our instructors for guitar lessons are selected based on these qualities to ensure the best learning experience for our students all across Singapore.
Can I schedule make-up guitar lessons if I need to miss a class?
Yes. We understand that unexpected things can happen, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you if you need to reschedule a lesson. Please let us know as soon as possible if you’re unable to make it to your scheduled class, and we’ll work with you to find a suitable time to make it up.
What is the difference between individual guitar lessons and group guitar classes?
In individual lessons, the plan is built around you and your teacher works with you alone. In our group guitar classes, 4-5 students follow a 12-week beginner course outline together and practise side by side. Choose individual lessons if you want a plan built only around your playing, and a group class if you want to practise with others.
