Now that you know that there is no shortage of guitar teaching talent when you search guitar classes near me in the Mother City of Cape Town, there are a few other things to consider before rushing into your guitar lessons for beginners.
Private Music Schools
Firstly, do you want to learn how to play the guitar as part of a class? Can you study music at school? If taking up guitar lessons as part of group does appeal to you and you are not able to take it as a school or university subject, you could try private music schools like The Legacy School of Music which is in Cape Town.
Online Guitar Lessons for Beginners
Alternatively, you could begin your guitar playing education online. Even though you would need to be extremely disciplined as you will not have anyone to track your progress and guide you, online guitar learning is certainly a possibility. A great place to start is to search for free lessons on YouTube that specialise in the type of guitar genre that interests you.
Remember too, that there is more to music than simply playing, so you could enrich your musical education by doing your own research on the type of guitar playing that interests you. You could also read up on some of the greats, like Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Holly, or Lenny Kravitz, all of whom have inspiring stories that will motivate you to keep learning when the going gets tough.
If you have decided to find a private guitar teacher, supplementing your weekly lessons with free online content is an excellent way to put in that extra effort and keep you practicing, which, don’t forget, is the best way to learn.
Find a Private Guitar Teacher
Learning how to play an instrument for the first time is not easy! This is why so many people elect to sign up with a private tutor. By searching guitar classes near me or using the Superprof site to search for a guitar teacher by location, you can expect to find tutors that range from only R90 per hour to R300 per hour depending on their background and experience.
There are tutors for every level of ability and every type of guitar player. Whether you are into bass guitar, electric guitar or classical guitar – there is a tutor for you. It’s important to make sure that you are aware of your own guitar playing goals and then to make sure that you clearly communicate these to your tutor. This is when using a Superprof tutor is helpful because you could get your first lesson for free which of course is a valuable opportunity to discuss your goals as well as to find out more about your potential guitar teacher, their background and playing experience.
There’s no doubt that learning how to play the guitar with a private tutor is extremely beneficial, not only do you have someone solely focused on your strengths and weaknesses, but you are able to progress at a pace that is comfortable for you and at a time and place that is convenient for you too.
Make sure that you choose a tutor that is suited to your preferred style of guitar playing, your level of skill and your affordability. Remember that personality goes a long way too, especially when you will be spending so much one-on-one time together, so make sure that you connect well as this will make your whole experience so much more enjoyable.
Music styles and indeed, types of guitar playing are very different. Fortunately, in Cape Town there is so much on offer, here are some of the types of guitar lessons for beginners you could expect to find:
One of the other great things about using a Superprof guitar teacher is that the more they are used, the more students rate their work. These endorsements or reviews can certainly help you when looking for the right tutor.
You have heard the old cliché before, ‘practice makes perfect’ but this could not be more true when it comes to mastering any musical instrument. Whether you are a total beginner learning your guitar chords, or whether you are wanting to perfect riffs like Deep Purple’s Smoke on the Water or those played by the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, guitar playing takes time, practice and dedication.
Finally, if you want your guitar playing to pay off, then it doesn’t matter whether you use free internet resources online, whether you join a music school or sign up with a private tutor - at the end of the day in the words of Eddie Van Halen, you need to “play, play, play and play!”
