What players say again and again
“Ryan is a knowledgeable and patient teacher and I’ve learned so much in the short time I’ve been taking lessons.”
“Great teacher, great experience- and speaking from the perspective of an Adult learner, finding the right studio and the right teacher has made all the difference.”
“I also bought a guitar from the shop for a great price - better than online dealers plus the added benefit of knowledgeable advice on what to look for.”
“Great store in Brookside, came here with a friend of mine when he bought his first guitar and found a great Alvarez at a good price.”
From the reviews
I’ve been taking violin lessons with Adam for over a year- Adam is an expert musically- he has a gift for guiding his students in areas of their strengths; and at the same time challenging them to be strong in the fundamentals.
I suppose that Brookside Guitars is a neighborhood guitar shop, but I've never really thought of it that way. We actually drive 50 minutes round-trip every week to the studio for my daughter's lesson, so it's not near my neighborhood at all.
I’ve been taking lessons at Brookside Guitars with Sophia for over a year now and this place is phenomenal. I have learned so much in my lessons and feel like they are really customized to my personal goals with guitar.
I love this place! Ryan is a knowledgeable and patient teacher and I’ve learned so much in the short time I’ve been taking lessons. I think I started in November of 2017 and I’m already able to play about 8 songs. Some of them I can even sing along to.
Lessons at Brookside Guitars
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Brookside Guitars. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments on hand for exactly this reason.
