4.9 out of 5 average lesson rating
Lessons adjust to each player's age, pace, guitar type, musical taste, and comfort with chords, rhythm, reading, or improvising, so progress feels steady between lessons.
A guitar can make music with a singer or another player early on: learners in Brea can practice steady chords, then trade short phrases back and forth. For a child interested in school music, lessons can build note reading, rhythm and confidence for playing alongside school music at nearby El Dorado High School. Brea students can also shape a recital piece from a song they already enjoy, working through its chords and transitions until it feels ready to share. Adults in Brea might choose a familiar song, learn its chord changes and find a relaxed way to accompany their own singing or a friend’s. Teens in Brea considering music study can explore the music program at the University of Southern California.
Brea guitar students can listen for how a guitarist’s strumming, picking and dynamics shape a song at a live performance. Kontrapunktus Neo-Baroque Chamber Orchestra offers another listening experience: notice how players shape a phrase and how rhythmic patterns support a musical line. South Coast Symphony gives families near Brea another chance to listen closely to changing dynamics and musical conversation. After a concert, a learner can try making one short phrase rise and fall on guitar. For a recital, the concert attire guide can help you choose what to wear.
A guitar takes little floor space, which can make it a practical choice when a Brea home has a shared room or limited practice space. A stable chair and a safe place to rest the instrument make it easier for a child to begin without searching for a setup each day. At Guitar Center, Marcoe Music or Artist Series Guitar, you can see and hold different sizes and styles before choosing. For a first guitar, comfort matters: your child should be able to hold it and reach the strings without strain. Keep the strings clean and have the instrument checked when tuning or playability becomes difficult. Brea players can ask their teacher which setup fits their music and hands.
Your teacher can choose guitar books and supplies to match the songs and skills your Brea student is working on. A music stand keeps chord charts or notation at eye level, so the player can glance up instead of looking down after every change. Orange County Public Libraries may be a place to borrow guitar books or song collections. Instrumental Savings and Guitar Center are shops to explore for printed music, a music stand or a tuner. You can also get the teacher-selected materials through the Lesson With You shop, keeping the next practice steps easy to find in Brea.
Families and adult learners use Lesson With You for patient guitar instruction, clear weekly practice goals, and steady support.
"We highly recommend Lessons With You. Our eight-year-old son started online learning to play the guitar with his instructor, Jeff Frantom, in August. Jeff is a fabulous teacher and has great teaching techniques for children."
- Ursel D., Parent of a Guitar Student

Lesson With You selects teachers who hold advanced degrees from top music schools and know how to make guitar understandable for new and experienced players. Brea students start with a free 30-minute lesson to meet the teacher, talk about favorite music and see whether the conversation feels comfortable. If it is a good fit, the same teacher returns each week, learning what the student wants to play and how they respond to guidance.
Lessons give a Brea guitarist a clear plan built around their hands, listening skills and musical goals. A beginner might start with a comfortable first chord, a steady strum and a simple song; a more experienced player could work on cleaner changes or a picking pattern. The teacher sets manageable next steps and revisits them each week, so a child preparing a recital piece or an adult learning a favorite song can hear what is improving without expecting everything at once.
Brea guitar students can hear live music and pay attention to how a guitarist shapes a song through strumming, picking and dynamics; Diamond Youth Symphony Orchestra offers another chance to listen for musical phrasing. Kontrapunktus Neo-Baroque Chamber Orchestra offers a different listening experience, where noticing musical phrases can prompt a learner to shape a guitar line with more care. A familiar live sound can give a student in Brea a useful idea to try at the next practice, whether that means changing a strum or letting a note ring.
Guitar can give a child in Brea a song to practice and share, while teens can use it to explore the music they already enjoy. Adults in Brea may be starting from scratch or returning to chords after years away; either way, a steady weekly lesson can help keep music in a full week. Younger learners benefit from short, clear practice steps, and older beginners can move at a pace that respects their own goals.
In Brea, Guitar Center and Marcoe Music are shops to visit for guitar books, chord charts or a tuner. Orange County Public Libraries may have guitar books or song collections to borrow. Your teacher can choose the right materials for your level and music, and the Lesson With You shop can supply the selections for your lessons.
Yes. In live online guitar lessons, the teacher can hear your strumming, picking and chord changes, and see your hands if the camera is positioned to show the guitar clearly. Small details, such as finger pressure or a quiet string buzz, can be harder to judge through video. Set the camera so both hands and the instrument are visible, and keep the guitar nearby for demonstrations and immediate practice.
A student should have a comfortable acoustic, classical, or electric guitar, reliable internet, a device with camera, and a quiet space. Useful accessories may include a tuner, picks, capo, strap, footstool, guitar support, music stand, or small amp depending on the instrument, with a clear next practice step.
Start with the guitar that suits the music you want to play and feels comfortable in your hands. Acoustic is a common first choice for singing and strumming; classical has nylon strings, while electric suits many amplified styles. In a Brea home with shared space, consider how much practice sound carries. Your teacher can help you choose after hearing your goals.
Many children are ready to start guitar around age six or seven, if they can hold the instrument comfortably, follow a short direction and enjoy repeating a small pattern. A smaller guitar can help a young Brea player reach the strings. There is no upper age limit: teens and adults can begin later, and older beginners do well when lessons start with music they want to play.
Lesson With You rates are $35 for 30 minutes, $50 for 45 minutes, and $65 for 60 minutes. The first 30-minute trial lesson is free.
The free first lesson gives Brea students time to meet their teacher, talk about musical interests and try a few notes or chords on guitar. In a typical week, the teacher checks how practice went, demonstrates a small skill such as a chord change, and helps the student play it in a song. The student leaves with a manageable practice idea, such as repeating one transition or strumming through a familiar verse.
Start with the free trial form, choose a teacher or request a match, and we will help confirm a lesson time that works for your schedule.
New guitar students are eligible for a free 30-minute trial lesson with no credit card required.
Lessons are billed one week at a time with no long-term contracts. Contact support if you are planning lessons for multiple students or a higher weekly frequency.
Note reading is useful, but guitar study can also include chords, strumming, fingerpicking, tab, notation, rhythm, ear training, improvisation, and repertoire.
Exercises and method books help students connect setup, tone, rhythm, reading, and musical phrasing. Teachers tie that work directly to the music students are learning.
No. Brea students take live online lessons on their own guitar, so a long commute does not add another trip to the week.
Yes. Adults in Brea can start with basic chords and a steady strum, or return to guitar by revisiting songs and techniques they once enjoyed. A weekly lesson offers a regular point to ask questions and choose a realistic next step, while practice can fit into the time available that week.

Yes. Guitar lessons can build rhythm, note reading and confidence for school music at nearby El Dorado High School, as well as a recital piece. Brea students can practice clear chord changes and steady playing to feel more prepared when school music involves reading or performing music.
