As a first time guitar student I have had a very positive experience at RSG- the staff are all very helpful and scheduling is really easy! Someone is always available if you call and they are also very responsive with email. This is a great place to start your guitar journey!

RSG is an awesome place for guitar players of all ages and abilities. Facilities are spacious with multiple rooms and studios. Classes and instructors are amazing. I made so much progress with my playing and developed a much better understanding of the instrument and music. I even got to play with an adult band. 5 Stars! !Rock on, RSG!

For years Ive studied guitar and music on my own or with a dedicated teacher only to quickly lose focus and fizzle out.As an adult student, I needed something more than working my way through a lesson book in a tiny room getting quizzed each week for 30 minutes.The difference with RSG is the group lesson format that provides a fun, no pressure, motivational environment to play and learn at the same time.The school has three great teachers that work well together and seamlessly trade off classes, providing different viewpoints while remaining focused on a cohesive learning plan.I currently take two classes.The Core Skills class provides a solid base focused on many areas including chords, tab, scales, songs, ear training, and technique.The Improv class provides a more in depth focus on theory and learning how to move around the neck with a focus on soloing.I can honestly say that I have studied guitar for years, but its only since Ive joined RSG that Im learning to put it all together and am just having so much fun learning and playing!

Reading School of Guitar's reply

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing varies depending on how many times a student comes each week. I have pricing for 1x, 2x, and 3x/week. All lessons are 60 mins in duration.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, we talk on the phone to schedule a free introductory lesson. This in-person lesson typically runs 30 minutes and takes place at my teaching studio in Reading, MA. I'll answer any questions you have during the intro and explain how I teach guitar, and what sets Reading School of Guitar apart from other teachers and schools in the area. If you're interested in moving forward, I'll add you to the calendar and schedule your first lesson.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
