Lessons for Young People
Q: How old should my son or daughter be to start lessons or classes?
A: At Queens Guitar School, we accept young people for private guitar lessons beginning at age six for private lessons and age eight for our Rock Guitar program.
Q:What are your lessons for young people like?
A: That depends on the kid! We will carefully select a teacher who matches up with your child's age and interests, and your priorities. All of our instructors will help their students develop musically in a fun and motivating context.
Q: Where will my child's lessons be located?
A: Private lessons are held at our studio at 32-18 Broadway in Astoria, Queens, just two blocks from the Broadway (N/Q) train station.
Q: How do private lessons work?
A: The first step is to set up a trial lesson. Call or e-mail our friendly staff (at 718-626-8121 or Info@QueensGuitarSchool.com). We'll ask you about your child's age, experience and interests and suggest one of our expert teachers for a single, no-obligation trial lesson.
Q: How much is tuition?
A:You can try a lesson at the discounted rate of $50 (or $40 for a 30 minute lesson) After the trial you can continue with individual lessons at $60 per lesson (or $50 for a 30 minute lesson). However most of our students take advantage of our discounted block rates.
Q:How do the pre-pay discounts work?
A:Pre-pay for five lessons at a time and receive a ten percent discount. Purchase a set of 10 lessons and receive a twenty percent discount.
45 MINUTE LESSONS
Individual Rate for one pre-paid lesson=$60.
Save 10%: Discount block rate for five lessons=$275 ($54 per lesson).

Q:What if I need to miss a lesson?
A: No problem! We are used to working with busy New York City kids. Just give us two days notice and you can reschedule your lesson.
Q: How much will my daughter or son need to practice?
A: For young children, we encourage 15 minutes of practice, three or four times per week.
For teenagers, we encourage 30 minutes of practice, three or four times per week.
Of course, if a student wants to practice more, our teachers will be encouraging!
Q: Does my son or daughter need to bring her or his guitar to the school?
A: No. Guitars are available for the use of students during lessons in the studio.
Students are welcome to bring their own guitars, but most prefer to use one of the guitars
available for their use. This way, they don't need to bring their guitar to school or around the city.
Q: What kind of guitar should I get for my daughter or son?
A: For our smallest students (6 thru 8) we recommend a half or three-quarter size nylon, acoustic or electric guitar. Larger chilren can move up to a half or three-quarter size acoustic or electric guitar. For teenagers we recommend either a full size
steel string acoustic guitar or an electric guitar. We also provide economical guitar rentals!
Q: Do you have gift certificates?
A: Yes! Attractive gift certificates are available for any number of lessons.
