Q: What makes NYC Guitar School different? A: Our teachers, community and curriculum!
Our teachers are (of course) skilled players--but they've also gone through a slightly insane hiring and training process including 5 interviews, sample lessons, a sample class and an intense mentoring and training program.
More importantly, our teachers join our team because they exemplify our values of relentless improvement, honesty, hustle and being people centered. Our mission is coaching personal greatness one lesson at a time. Our mission driven teachers are the reason we've become one of the largest guitar schools in America.
Our community is over 1,000 enthusiastic students and 50 passionate teachers strong. As an in-home student, you can grow your skills and connect with others in school events and performing opportunities like open mics, jams, workshops, ensembles, camps and NYC Guitar School rock bands. And even if you don't want to perform, you are still part of our community.
Our in-home teachers use the same proven curriculum used successfully by thousands of New Yorkers in our four locations. You will build fundamentals that allow you to learn songs that YOU are inspired by, and you will learn deliberate practice skills which improve your odds of success in guitar, and in life.

It's so nice to come to a place where there are such welcoming people to help me learn guitar and remember why I love music.
I would recommend anyone to come here because you have so much fun learning to play the guitar. It's a very friendly atmosphere--I just keep coming back.
I think I learned more in 10 weeks at NYC Guitar School than I did in an entire year of trying on my own.
There are lots of places where you can find great guitarists, there are lots of places you can find great teachers, but these are awesome guitarists who love to teach.
These are the first classes in my life that I look forward to all week!
Awesome Experience!
The school rocks...it's a lot of fun!
I really like the staff. The staff is the friendliest I've seen in 12 years of advanced education.
It's fantastic. It's changed my life, actually. Probably the best thing that's happened to me in New York is finding this school.
This is one of the happiest and most fulfilling aspects of my life!
After failing with uninspired private lessons, my Absolute Beginners group got me through the first ten weeks, and the next ten, and the next ten...NYC Guitar School rocks!
