Guitar Classes for Kids (ages 5-11)
In addition to private guitar lessons, Big Music also offers after school music classes for kids that include guitar as part of a broader musical foundation.
For younger children especially, starting in a group-based program can be a great way to build confidence, coordination and basic musical skills before focusing on one instrument. Our after school program enables kids to explore guitar, piano, drums and singing in a rotating weekly format.
This program runs every day from 3:30pm to 5:30pm with bus pick ups from several local schools, or simply drop off at Big Music in Crows Nest.
