Adults often have busy schedules. That's why we offer flexible lesson times. We adapt each lesson to your pace and needs. This way, you can learn to play the guitar in the way that suits you best. With us, you can take private guitar lessons or duo lessons during the day and in the evening. Are you busy during the week? Then you can also book a lesson in the weekend. Would you like to schedule a series of lessons in advance? This is also no problem.

Focused on individual goals and music preferences

Every adult has his or her own reasons for learning to play the guitar. Music that resonates with personal experiences can have a deeper meaning for the student. Experience has shown that playing songs and techniques that are part of the student's favorite genres can accelerate his or her progress. That is why I try to tailor the lessons as much as possible to the student's personal goals and musical preferences. The most diverse material is worked with in the genres blues, rock & metal, pop, jazz, country, fingerstyle and more.

Technical skills and music theory

In addition to playing existing songs, we also focus on developing technical skills and understanding music theory so that you will eventually be able to compose your own creations or arrange existing music. This helps you to become a more complete musician. Also read electric guitar lessons.

Can you learn to play guitar later in life?

Taking guitar lessons later in life can have many benefits. Many adults over 60 have started with us and find it very rewarding and fulfilling. First, it can help keep cognitive functions sharp. Learning an instrument keeps the brain active and promotes mental flexibility. Additionally, playing guitar provides a creative outlet and can reduce stress, leading to better emotional well-being. There are also social benefits, such as meeting new people and joining musical groups or bands. Achieving these goals can lead to a sense of fulfillment and self-confidence in people who are already in their later years.

Stress Relief and Cognitive Benefits

Playing the guitar can be a form of mindfulness, where the focus on the instrument and the music distracts from unwanted thoughts. Playing music can be experienced as a calm, repetitive activity that has a healing effect on the body. There is substantial scientific evidence that playing music has a calming effect and reduces stress. Playing music can lead to a significant decrease in the stress hormone cortisol, improved mood, and reduced anxiety. It also promotes physiological relaxation because it can lead to a decrease in heart rate and blood pressure. Playing music stimulates the brain in ways that can strengthen the emotional and stress-regulating systems. In addition, there are numerous cognitive benefits associated with playing music. Learning to play the guitar not only improves your memory and attention span, but also sharpens your problem-solving and motor skills. Furthermore, playing music stimulates creativity and imagination in improvisation and composition.
