Private Guitar Lessons

My name is Alexa Young

Our one-on-one guitar lessons are personalised to suit each student’s experience, interests and musical style.

 

Lessons are suitable for:

  • young beginners

  • school-age children

  • teenagers

  • adults and seniors


Your guitar coach will tailor lessons to suit your goals, which may include:

  • acoustic or electric guitar, bass guitar and ukulele

  • learning chords and rhythm

  • lead guitar and soloing

  • reading tab and notation

  • following a syllabus with graded exams

  • learning to play the songs you love

  • songwriting and improvisation

  • getting ready to play in a band

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.  

Not Sure Which Option Is Best?

If you’re unsure whether private guitar lessons or group music classes are the right fit (especially for kids), our team is happy to help.   We’ll talk with you about:

  • age and experience

  • learning style

  • musical interests

  • availability

and guide you toward the best option.
