Beginning Guitar
for Kids

“In 4 months, my children went from no experience to knowing tabs, chords, and even playing a few pop songs...I greatly appreciated how Ms. Katie was so encouraging in her feedback. The feedback was skill/age-appropriate, and it never seemed like one child was getting praised more or less than the other. If you're considering having your child start guitar, I highly, highly recommend Ms. Katie! 🎸”

“Ms. Gettys is wonderful! She really makes learning the guitar fun, engaging, and my daughter actually wants to practice. We first tried lessons at the local music school but the teacher was so boring that my daughter almost quit the guitar entirely. We were so glad to find Ms. Gettys!”

“Both my son (12yo) and daughter (10yo) took Sarah's summer guitar camps and they absolutely loved the experience. Neither of my children had played guitar before. After level 1 my kids were so engaged I signed them up for Level 2 and then Level 3. I am so happy with the experience. Sarah was enthusiastic and patient as they learned new chords and then put it all together to learn new songs. She was constantly checking in with them to make sure they really understood each concept before moving on. Even though there were 6 students total in the group, I really felt she gave each child the one-on-one attention that is so important when learning a new skill. I would highly recommend her class.”

“Miss G is an amazing teacher and has an invaluable knack for teaching children where they are and pushing them forward. She has an upbeat and engaging personality and makes the group classes and private classes fun! Materials are nicely created and easy to understand. She is highly communicative on what to work on and follows up in writing immediately following class...She has made remarkable progress in such a short amount of time. To say that I recommend Miss G and Mini Musicians Studio would be an understatement!”

“My boys enjoy these classes and enjoy the instructor. She is always vibrant and welcoming and very encouraging. The boys are eager to practice each week and look forward to the classes. What more could a parent ask for?”

“Ms. G is an amazing guitar teacher. She is kind and patient and was very engaged with my son. Her pintables for practice in between classes are visually appealing to young students and easy to understand and my son loved playing along with her through her pre-recorded videos in between classes. Ms. G gave us all the tools my son needed for success.”

“My son loves it (11) and prefers this over in-person!”

“My daughter (9) had very little music experience and THRIVED in this class with Ms. G. Katie is very organized and has a great lesson plan for beginners!”

“Ms G is an AMAZING online teacher!! Of the dozens of many talented and engaging ... teachers that my son has been fortunate to learn from this summer, Ms G takes the highest marks. Her teaching style was helpful and thorough and the content was fun! She routinely gave positive feedback to every individual - both in her classroom posts and private videos to each student - and she filled her comments with specific examples within their work... also encouraging the students to engage in feedback with their classmates. Fantastic class and great experience for my 10-year-old son! Thank you, Ms G!”

She said Katie's directions are very clear and easy to understand and that she is very patient with the kids. Katie is engaging and really inspired my daughter to learn the program. When the class ended each day, my daughter was excited to keep working and creating more music on her own. What I appreciate that when I had a question and emailed Katie she responded very quickly.”
