Learn Guitar Through Real Songs

Learning guitar is more enjoyable when you can use what you learn to play actual music.

At Focus Music, our Pop Guitar Course combines essential guitar fundamentals with practical song-based learning. Instead of spending every lesson on isolated exercises, students progressively develop chords, rhythm, strumming, fingerstyle and song accompaniment skills that can be applied to real songs.

Adults

The course is suitable for adult beginners, hobby learners and returning guitar players. Lessons can focus on practical goals such as playing favourite songs, improving technique, accompanying vocals or developing confidence on the guitar.

Teenagers

Teenagers can learn acoustic guitar through contemporary songs while developing chord progressions, strumming patterns, rhythm control, song structure and fingerstyle skills. Playing while singing can also be introduced when appropriate.
