Guitar Lessons

Silver Music Studios has been providing private guitar lessons for over twenty years to kids and adults of all ages and skill levels. Regardless of your age, your playing style, your experience level, and your goals, we can pair you with a teacher who is just right for you, whether you are taking lessons in our Havertown school or you take your guitar lessons online via Skype or FaceTime.

Guitar lessons for kids

Most of us begin learning music as children, when enthusiasm is high but technique is not. Silver Music Studios has teachers who can tap into and maintain the young student’s motivation, while gradually building the discipline and technique needed for success in the long run. Lessons are fun and fast-paced (if that’s your style, of course), and students always understand how the music theory and exercises are helping them play the music they want to play.

Guitar lessons for adult beginners

The adult beginning music student has a different set of challenges. This student usually has plenty of patience and discipline and more familiarity with musical styles, but doesn’t have as much free time to practice and requires targeted guitar lessons to build skills quickly.

Guitar lessons for experienced players

Music is a lifelong pursuit, and we are ready to help even when you’re not a beginner anymore. A number of our guitar students are performing musicians with ten or more years of experience. We’ll be with you when it is time to get into advanced music theory and techniques.

Silver Music Studios was founded to provide quality music instruction for everyone: beginners… experienced musicians… every age… every level… every style. We customize each guitar lesson plan to each student. Our scheduling is flexible and we believe that guitar lessons should be affordable for everyone.

I have been taking guitar lessons with Scot since October 1993. Scot is an excellent instructor. Scot’s technical expertise and enthusiasm for teaching create an atmosphere that is both enjoyable and conducive to learning. His program combines exercises and music theory in a logical sequence of lessons that are challenging but not so demanding as to be discouraging. Scot is not only a very competent musician; he is flexible, and attuned to individual students’ specific needs and areas of interest.
