Guitar

Electric, acoustic and bass guitars

Electric (and acoustic) guitar tuition follows an established curriculum which aims to balance technical and musical skills over a wide appreciation of different styles of music.

Students learn lead and rhythm guitar, or bass guitar, with a finger style technique. Bass guitar techniques include walking bass, building bass riffs, and bass runs with chord sequence backings.

Music lessons are available Monday – Friday (day and evening) and Saturday mornings.

Teaching styles and targets are centred to your needs. Rock School exams, RGT, GCSE and A’Level work is supported.

Classical guitar

Classical guitar tuition at Coda is provided for beginners up to advanced students – for adults or children (age 7 upwards) who want to learn classical or folk guitar, either for their own pleasure or to perform.

Guitars are available for hire, but students will need to purchase their own instruments in the longer term. Student’s voluntary external examinations follow the ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) syllabus.

Group guitar

We do not currently run any group guitar sessions, but can teach as a duo if two students would like to learn together.
