Every musician and audio professional has to start somewhere, and getting your career or hobby off on the right foot (or taking the next big step if you've already got some experience under your belt) doesn't have to be a daunting experience. All it takes is the right music lessons to teach you the essential skills, and then your creativity can fill in the blanks. At Guitar Center, we're well-known for our lessons in vocals, bass, guitar and more - and there's more where those came from. Take a look through these pages to learn about the other lessons we have to offer, and find out what those courses can do to help you become the best musician you can be.

The biggest point of pride for Guitar Center lessons is our roster of skilled instructors. After all, when you have a question to ask, it's only fair to expect your music teacher to be ready with an answer derived from experience. That's why we carefully choose our instructors for their qualifications and passion. Getting great returns on your learning experience depends on having the best people in place to help you, and that's a top priority at every GC location.

Speaking of locations, there's no better time than the present to get in touch with your nearest Guitar Center lessons store to find out exactly what courses are available. While some lessons can be had at virtually any location, others might depend on the city. For example, if there's a style of music unique to your area, there's a good chance your closest GC lessons location has a course relating to it. The best way to find out all the details is to give the local store a call, or stop by in-person to chat about your options.

No matter where you plan to go on your musical journey, Guitar Center is dedicated to helping you get there. If you've decided to blaze your own trail by going for something different from guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, vocals or any of the other standard choices, then one of our other lessons may be the way to go. Don't hesitate to get in touch - even if the lessons you're looking for aren't on our usual list, one of our instructors may still be able to help you out. And since we keep our fingers on the pulse of the local musical community, we can at least point you in the right direction.
