My lesson experience as a kid ended up with me quitting lessons, let me explain.
For years, I took lessons, privately, one-on-one. I remember how initially I was excited to learn guitar, but had no idea the amount of work and time it would actually take to “learn” or “achieve” the skills in the songs I wanted to play.
Unfortunately, I often asleep fell asleep in lessons because they were boring, which lead to much slower progress. I was never confident of my skill level nor had the means to track/see my progress at any point. My instructor handed me a piece of paper, said, “practice this at home”. Unfortunately, this is the common in traditional music lessons.
Over time, I felt forced to do something I wanted to love. So no wonder I quit. Yes, I did!
I wish I had known what I know now as a guitar instructor and music educator.
Over the past 10 years, I’ve discovered a way to help students learn and progress on guitar 2-4 times faster than what I was able to achieve in my lesson experience.
How Kids Can Learn Music 2-4 Times As Fast
Miles, started brand new in our program (Seated, playing red guitar in back):
This is Miles, on the right, in just 3 years into our program:
What Miles has been able to achieve in over 3 years literally took me over 7+ years. How is this possible?
I would like to introduce…
The Guitar Accelerator Program
Guitar Lessons in Everett
Through The Music Circle's Guitar Accelerator Program, our students progress on guitar 2-4 times faster than the average student. Our lessons are designed for kids ages 8 and up who want to learn guitar, build confidence, and play real songs that they actually recognize.
Unlike traditional lessons, students are trained on specific skills that connect with real songs at the same time, helping them stay motivated by making steady, measurable progress. These are relaxed, fun music lessons for Kids.
What Your Child Will Learn:
Guitar fundamentals: how to hold, position, tune, and operate an Acoustic or Electric Guitar
Essential skills: Technique, Rhythm, Strumming, and Chords
How to play popular songs they recognize
How to practice at home
How to play along with recordings and other students
The skills needed to learn their favorite songs
Many students are able to learn songs on their own within their first 6 months of training!
What's Included:
Weekly Accelerator Training Sessions
Students attend 55-minute weekly training sessions where they learn new skills, practice with guidance, and receive personalized feedback from our instructors. Whether your child is interested in Acoustic or Electric guitar, we provide support for each.
Because students understand both what to practice and how to practice, and many as they grow in confidence, become driven to practice on their own. You’ll never have to tell them to practice!
Progress Tracking
Students follow a clear skill-based curriculum, with measurable milestones.
Parents can easily see their child's progress as they advance through each level and develop new skills and learn new songs.
Real Songs - Day One
Who doesn’t want to be able to play songs? Songs are our “merit” badge of making progress on any instrument. Students learn best through music they recognize and enjoy.
By applying new skills to real songs right away, their training sessions are more productive than the average lesson. Each session also includes opportunities to play with other students and perform along with actual recordings.
Support Along the Way
We don't want students feeling stuck. If you or your child have questions about their material, our team is available by phone or email to provide guidance and help keep students moving forward.
The Result
Our goal is simple: help students build real musical skills, gain confidence, and develop a lifelong love of playing guitar.
