4.9 out of 5 average lesson rating
Teachers adapt assignments week by week as students move between acoustic songs, electric riffs, classical technique, or songwriting, so technique and songs improve together.
In Severn, beginners can start by learning to tune with guidance, read chord diagrams, and keep a steady pulse through a short passage. As your child grows, lessons can help them prepare pieces for a recital and build confidence with guitar parts for school music at nearby Crofton High School. Teens who are thinking about studying music after high school may want to explore the music program at Johns Hopkins University; lessons can help them prepare and decide what they enjoy playing. Adults in Severn can set personal goals, from returning to guitar after a break to learning songs they have always wanted to play.
A concert can give Severn guitarists ideas about listening closely to other instruments. At a Baltimore Symphony Orchestra concert, notice how a melody stands out from the accompaniment, then try shaping that contrast in a guitar piece. The Naptown Philharmonic Orchestra and Bach Concert Series offer more chances to hear how musicians keep time and respond to one another. A program at the University of Maryland-Baltimore County can also be a reason to listen for ensemble balance. For a student’s next recital, our concert attire guide can help make getting dressed feel simple.
Choosing a first guitar in Severn starts with what you or your child wants to play and what feels comfortable to hold. Acoustic guitars are convenient for playing songs without an amp; classical guitars have nylon strings that can feel gentler on the fingers; electric guitars offer a different range of sounds. At Guitar Center, Music & Arts, and Treude Guitar Shop, you can hold guitars to see which neck and body feel comfortable. Ask your lesson teacher to help narrow down the choice before buying. Keep the guitar in a safe, reachable spot, and build in time for tuning and string care. A headphone guitar amp can let an electric guitarist practice amplified sounds quietly, though the strings are still audible.
For guitar lessons in Severn, the teacher can choose a book or song material that suits the student’s level and goals. A music stand helps keep chord charts or notation visible while playing, and a tuner supports the habit of tuning before practice. Anne Arundel County Public Library may be useful for borrowing general music books. Bill's Music and Guitar Center carry guitar books, picks, and other practice supplies. The Lesson With You shop can supply teacher-selected books and materials, so you can start with what fits the lesson rather than guessing at a method book.
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."

Every Lesson With You guitar teacher holds an advanced degree from a top music school and is selected for strong musicianship and teaching skill.

A free first lesson lets you see how the conversation and playing feel before deciding whether the match is right for you or your child.
Guitar lessons work best with a clear plan that still leaves room for the songs a learner cares about. In Severn, a student preparing for a recital might work on chord changes, steady rhythm, and shaping a short piece, with each step sized for the time they can practice. The teacher checks what is becoming comfortable and adjusts the next goal, so progress stays realistic rather than rushed. That structure can also support school music or a personal playing goal.
Listening can give a Severn guitarist a reason to try a new musical idea. Chamber Music Maryland offers a chance to hear how musicians shape phrases and support one another, while a Baltimore Symphony Orchestra concert can draw attention to melody, pulse, and contrast. A student can bring one thing they noticed to the next lesson and explore how it might sound in a guitar piece. Those listening moments make practice feel connected to music beyond the page.
Guitar lessons in Severn can give a child a creative activity to share with family, while teens can build a repertoire of songs and pieces that feel their own. Adults can begin from scratch or return to playing after years away, setting a pace that fits work and home life. At any age, learning guitar offers time to focus on music, practice steadily, and enjoy the satisfaction of playing a piece from start to finish.
Guitar Center and Music & Arts are shops to consider for guitar books, chord charts, or a music stand. Anne Arundel County Public Library may have general music books to borrow. Your teacher can recommend materials that fit your level and goals, and the Lesson With You shop can supply the selected lesson books and supplies.
Yes. In live online guitar lessons, the teacher can hear your notes, rhythm, chord changes, and how a passage flows, and can see your hands and instrument position over video. Small details such as finger placement may be harder to see, so a camera angle that shows both hands helps. The guitar stays in its usual playing spot, and you can keep your music or chord chart within reach while you work.
Students need an acoustic, classical, or electric guitar, reliable internet, a device with a camera, and a quiet lesson space. Many beginners do well with a comfortable acoustic or classical guitar, or an electric guitar with a small practice amp and basic accessories, while still leaving room for music the student enjoys.
Start with the kind of music you or your child wants to play and which guitar feels comfortable. Acoustic guitars work well for songs without an amp; classical guitars have nylon strings, and electric guitars offer amplified sounds. An electric guitar with a headphone amp can keep amplified practice quieter, though the strings remain audible.
Many children are ready to start guitar around age seven or eight, when they can comfortably hold an instrument, follow a short direction, and enjoy practicing for a few minutes. A smaller guitar may help a young beginner. School music at nearby Crofton High School can be one goal for an older child, but there is no single perfect starting age. Teens and adults who begin later can do well, too.
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 you and your child a chance to meet the teacher, talk about musical interests, and try a little guitar together. The teacher can see how the student holds the instrument and responds to a simple rhythm or chord. In a typical week, you review one thing from the previous lesson, work on a new skill or song, and leave with a short practice focus to try before the next meeting.
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.
