From first chords to real songs

Guitar at Kara is repertoire-led. Students learn the basics of holding the guitar and playing clean chords, and they quickly move to songs they recognise. Playing something they love is what keeps students practising.

What lessons cover

  • Holding the guitar and hand position. Comfortable, efficient habits from the start.
  • First chords and strumming. Clean chords, steady rhythm.
  • Songs. Repertoire the student wants to play, matched to their stage.
  • Reading and listening. Enough music reading and ear training to keep growing.

Choosing a guitar

Please ask the teacher before you buy. The right guitar depends on your child's size and age and on the kind of music they want to play. Short, regular practice at home helps more than one long session.

Where to study

Guitar lessons are available across our studios and online. We confirm which teachers and slots are open when you book on WhatsApp.
