The Guitar Club

Meeting Online: Mondays 5.30pm - 30 mins - Term Time
Starting January 19th 2026

The Guitar Club is a relaxed, weekly online hangout for young guitarists who love music and want to learn in a friendly, social environment. It’s not a traditional lesson and there’s no rigid curriculum — instead, students play together, share the music they’re learning, perform in a low-pressure setting, and learn songs as a group. It’s designed to feel safe, welcoming, and fun, helping young people grow in confidence while enjoying music with others who share their passion. If your child struggles with doing practice and keeping  motivated then this is a great class to accompany your music lessons as it will get them playing during the week in between their weekly lessons.

I taught hundreds of lessons online during the lockdown and some of the best parts of those lessons was sharing a music video or showing students a new band they hadn't discovered and then pulling up the music and having a go at a new song. This Club is essentially all those fun bits that give students inspiration and drive to play and enjoy their instrument or even form a band themselves! 

This format is also especially powerful for shy children and those who want to build social skills. Being part of a supportive group helps students come out of their shell at their own pace, practise communicating through music, and develop confidence without the pressure of being put on the spot.

❓ The Guitar Club – FAQs

Is this suitable for beginners?
Yes. The Guitar Club is open to all levels. Students can join in at their own pace, and there’s no pressure to keep up or perform.

What if my child is shy or nervous?
The Guitar Club is ideal for shy children. No one is ever forced to play or speak, and students are encouraged to join in only when they feel comfortable. Many quieter students grow in confidence naturally over time.

Does my child have to perform?
No. Performing is always optional. Some students enjoy sharing straight away, while others prefer to listen and join in gradually — both are absolutely fine.

What happens in a typical session?
Each session includes relaxed group playing, learning a song together, sharing music, and time for questions and discussion. It’s designed to feel friendly and social rather than formal. It will be very much student led but well guided by a highly skilled guitar teacher.

Is there a set curriculum or exams?
No. The focus is on enjoyment, confidence, and musical growth through playing with others — not tests or grades.

How many students are in each group?
Groups are kept to a manageable size so everyone feels seen, heard, and supported.
