The Rock Apprentice programme is a fun and engaging programme designed to teach young students (5-12 years) how to play the guitar faster than ever before. It can also function as a great supplement for those who have already learned to play guitar and can be used in combination with other lessons or learning alongside a parent.
Learn cool classic rock riffs and chords that keep learners motivated and inspired to play the music that they hear. Clear and simple sheet music handouts ensure their attention remains focused on one concept at a time. This method is suitable for both acoustic and electric guitar.
