Learning a solo instrument for the first time can sometimes make our younger students slightly nervous. Our teachers do their very best to make sure that everybody has a brilliant first guitar lesson. We make sure that everybody learns at their own pace and that having fun is at the heart of every class!
Play Guitar In A Band!
We put on 2 big shows each year at Media City in Salford Quays.
All of our guitar students have the chance to take part. If you have only had a few lessons then you will be given really easy parts so that you can enjoy rocking out on stage. If you are one of our intermediate players then you will learn all of the guitar riffs that you will need to put on a mega rock show for your friends and family!
For those students that want a challenge then you can have the chance to play the lead guitar solos for your band and wow the audience with all of the brilliant guitar licks you have mastered in your lessons!

My son has been learning the guitar for a few months now and is doing really well. He said Adam "makes the lessons so much fun, he explains everything clearly and Adam is so cool when he plays his guitar!". He is back on track on his road to becoming a little rock star. I would definitely recommend Anthem Tuition. It's friendly, fun and the kids make good progress

What will I learn in my lessons?
It is crucial for every musician to develop a good understanding of rhythm and pulse. Your guitar lessons will have call and response sections to develop this skill. You will also be given tips and tricks to maintain a steady rhythm whilst playing the guitar
Early beginners and students of all levels are encouraged to develop their listening skills so that they can work songs out by ear, these are called aural skills. We will teach you to recognise changes in pitch and to be able to hear the difference between major and minor chords
Learn how to hold the guitar and where to place your fingers within each fret to produce the best sound. You will learn the different parts of the guitar: the head, the neck, the body, the frets and the names of the strings
We breakdown the process of reading standard music notation using the treble clef as well as how to read guitar TAB notation. You will be given tips and strategies for practising at home to make the most of your lesson time
You will get a set of really easy guitar warm ups, scales and patterns to develop the strength in your fretting hand. We also start students off with the easiest of guitar scales called E minor pentatonic, the name is a little scary but it's super simple
We will explain how to use your right hand to strum chords effectively, making sure that you hit all of the correct strings and showing you ways to make strumming patterns easy
Start learning famous rock styles and pop riffs from your very first lesson! Here are some of the bands and Artists we have been featuring in our lessons this year:
Guns N' Roses | Led Zeppelin | George Ezra | Bruno Mars | Taylor Swift | Red Hot Chili Peppers | Kings of Leon | Foo Fighters | Arctic Monkeys | Green Day | Queen | Muse | Ed Sheeran | AC/DC | Metallica | Fall Out Boy | The Killers | The White Stripes | Nirvana | Royal Blood | School Of Rock Soundtrack plus many more!
