4.9 out of 5 average lesson rating
The lesson plan follows the student's level, interests, practice time, and goals instead of forcing one fixed guitar path, so families understand what to listen for during practice.
A guitarist in Covington can work toward playing a favorite song with a steady pulse, then add chord changes and cleaner transitions. For a child involved in school music, lessons can build rhythm, listening, and confidence to support the music they are learning there. Students can also prepare a short piece for a family recital or share a song with friends. Learning to accompany a singer or trade short musical phrases with another guitarist is a realistic early goal for playing with others. Adults in Covington may prefer to learn songs they have always wanted to play, refresh old skills, or make a regular place for music in the week.
A concert by the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra can give a Covington guitarist a chance to listen for how melody, rhythm, and dynamics work together. The New Orleans Opera offers another setting to notice how accompaniment supports a singer. Make Music NOLA is a further opportunity to hear live music and pay attention to the way musicians shape a song. Tulane University of Louisiana is another place to hear music when a trip fits your plans. Take one musical idea into guitar practice. For a recital or concert, our concert attire guide can help you choose what to wear.
For a Covington household choosing a first guitar, start with the player’s size, comfort, and the sound they want. An acoustic guitar is simple to pick up for songs and chords; an electric guitar needs an amplifier, while a classical guitar has nylon strings that can feel gentler under new fingers. If other people share the home, consider where practice will happen and how much sound carries into nearby rooms. Kapital Guitar and C & M Music Center are places to see guitars in person and compare how they feel. A guitar needs little floor space, but a stable chair and safe place to rest it make practice easier to begin. Keep it away from extreme heat, and have strings and tuning checked when needed.
A Covington guitarist can begin with the book or song material their teacher chooses for their level and goals. St. Tammany Parish Library is a place to borrow music books and explore options before buying. Kapital Guitar and C & M Music Center are local places to look for beginner method books, a music stand, or a tuner. The teacher can help choose suitable notation and supplies, so you avoid buying material that does not fit the lessons. A stand placed near the guitar keeps chord charts or notation visible without making the player look down repeatedly. For selected lesson materials, the Lesson With You shop is another option.
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

Covington guitar students work with a teacher selected for advanced musical training and teaching skill. The same teacher returns each week, gets to know what the learner enjoys, and adjusts the pace as confidence grows. A good fit matters: a child may need clear, small steps, while an adult may want to start with songs they already love. The free first lesson gives you a chance to meet and talk through those goals.
For a Covington guitarist, lessons follow a plan shaped around the music they want to play and the skills that will help them get there. A beginner might start with a comfortable way to hold the guitar, then practice a few chords and a simple rhythm. As those become steadier, the teacher can introduce smoother changes and a fuller song. Progress stays realistic, with each week building on skills the student can practice between lessons.
Music heard beyond a lesson can give a Covington guitarist ideas to try in a familiar song. At Loyola University New Orleans, listen for how musicians shape a phrase and keep a steady pulse. A Greater New Orleans Youth Orchestras performance offers another chance to notice how players shape melody and dynamics together. Dillard University provides another place to hear live music and follow the way musical parts work together. Bring one detail that caught your ear into guitar practice, such as a rhythmic feel or a change in volume.
Guitar can give a Covington child a creative activity to share at home, while teens can use lessons to shape songs around their own tastes. Adults can begin with a few familiar chords or return to the instrument after time away. Weekly lessons give every age a steady moment to focus, listen, and make music. The goals can stay personal, whether that means playing for family or simply enjoying a song more fully.
In Covington, start with the teacher’s suggestions, then borrow a guitar book or song collection from St. Tammany Parish Library to see what suits you. Kapital Guitar and C & M Music Center are places to look for method books, a music stand, or a tuner. Your teacher can guide the choices, and the Lesson With You shop can supply selected lesson materials.
Yes. In a live online guitar lesson, the teacher can hear chord changes, rhythm, and tone, and see the student’s hands on the strings. A camera angle that shows both hands helps; close details such as finger pressure can be harder to judge on video. The teacher can ask the Covington student to reposition the camera or play a passage slowly, then focus on the next practical step.
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.
Choose the guitar that fits the player and the music they hope to make. Acoustic works well for singing and strumming; classical has nylon strings, and electric needs an amplifier. In a Covington home where sound carries between rooms, consider when and where practice will happen. A comfortable size and feel matter most at the start.
Many children are ready to start guitar when they can comfortably hold a small instrument, follow a short direction, and enjoy repeating a few notes or chords. In Covington, the right starting point depends more on the child’s interest and comfort than a particular birthday. Older beginners do well too, including teens and adults who want to learn songs at their own pace.
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 a Covington student and parent time to meet the teacher, share musical interests, and try a few guitar basics. In a typical week, the teacher listens to the student play, works on a chord or rhythm, and helps apply it to a song. Between lessons, short practice can revisit that skill and the song section that needs more attention.
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.
