The Guitar Studio has offered lessons in Madison since 1981. Many students have been active in high school jazz bands and in their own musical groups, and quite a few continue to be active musicians in college and in the Madison community. Our specialty is giving young players the tools to achieve personal expression through music.

Lessons are tailored to the individual student. Once the basics of guitar playing are presented, the course of study is directed toward each student's area of musical interest. Much of the lesson material is based on music the student is interested in. Students are encouraged to be self-motivated, to work on their own, and most importantly, they're encouraged to determine the direction the lessons will take.

Lessons are reasonably priced at The Guitar Studio. Currently our rates are:

• $25 for each one hour lesson
  
• $15 for each 1/2 hour lesson
