Michigan Rock School guitar instructors teach electric guitar, acoustic guitar, and ukulele. From beginner lessons to advanced techniques, in lessons our guitar instructors teach students how to apply fundamentals to rock, pop, blues, country, folk, jazz, and most genres that our students enjoy. That enjoyment is key to each students’ progress, so students are encouraged to play an active part in choosing songs to learn. Our guitar instructors listen to each student’s goals, and help develop a plan for achieving those goals. While that plan is important for kids, our adult students also find value in that type of mentoring.

Michigan Rock School instructors are some of the most talented musicians in the metro Detroit area, but equally important is their ability to explain sometimes-difficult musical concepts in simple to understand terms. Bringing those talents to our Downtown Milford studio and our West Oakland County students is a key element to keeping our music lesson programs fun and engaging!

Private guitar lessons at Michigan Rock School are available in weekly 30-minute or 60-minute sessions, and are designed to support each students personal musical goals.

"I got into the radio business because I'm a huge music fan. But it was so frustrating that I didn't know how to play an instrument. Working with John has been a great experience. Regardless of your skill level. John sees the potential in every person to be a great player. If you are thinking about learning guitar, Michigan Rock School should be your first call"
