Finding the right guitar teacher for a child or a beginner is not easy. There are no regulations in the private music sector. Anyone can start teaching guitar! But a good guitar player doesn’t always make a good teacher for beginners.

Many eager beginners quit after only a few months of lessons because they didn’t get the right foundations.

At Gentle Guitar™ we specialise in kids and beginner guitar foundations. We also offer intermediate and advanced acoustic guitar, classical guitar and fingerstyle guitar lessons.

How Gentle Guitar™ Is Different

[/page_section]

[one_half_first]

[/one_half_first]

[one_half_last]

A Proven Method

A trained guitar coach, Inga Hope, encountered a lack of age-graded teaching materials. With a background in graphic design, she hand-crafted the Gentle Guitar™ method. In 2013 her local teaching practice expanded to three locations around Auckland. The method also gained popularity in local schools and community centres and was taught to classrooms and groups. In 2016 the Gentle Guitar™ school shifted focus to online education and is now using this proven method to teach kids all over the world.

A Method Designed for Children

The Gentle Guitar™ method is designed for children. It adapts to them at their level of development. A five year old can follow along just as easily as a twelve year old. Complex musical content is broken down into fun written activities, easy progressive exercises and musical games. [/one_half_first]

Music as a Toolbox for Development

The Gentle Guitar™ method, at its core, has the child’s development in mind. Music is fun, but ultimately the purpose of studying music literacy at a young age is to enhance brain development, while the brain is highly plastic (ideally before age 10). Sadly, most guitar schools and private teachers don’t teach music literacy to young kids. They believe that it is too steep a learning curve for most students to deal with, but at Gentle Guitar™ — that’s what we specialize in, and kids LOVE it!

Music Literacy

Most guitar schools and private teachers teach guitar using TAB (TAB is music by numbers, like colouring by numbers).

We also teach TAB, but teaching music only ‘by ear’ (by TAB) has shortcomings. Just like teaching a language orally (without teaching the grammar and writing) would produce setbacks in the long run.

Neuroscientists measure a direct link between music literacy and measurably improved linguistic (reading and writing) abilities in growing children. Music is a SUPER-LANGUAGE, because unlike spoken languages, the language of music also requires rehearsed physical coordination. That’s why musicians are known as small-muscle athletes! Learning to read and play music is an enriching experience for growing and developing children.
