GUITAR CLASS FAQ
Everybody learns slightly differently, and some learn better in groups than individually. There are many advantages to learning in a group equally valid to the advantages of learning one-to-one.
In the group classes, we can see how we are progressing alongside others, some will progress faster, and some will progress slower. However, my experience has shown that seeing how others play helps boost your confidence in your own ability to succeed.
