Auckland Guitar School — Local services in Howick

Joining Auckland Guitar School nine months ago is one of the best things I've done. I had tried to learn guitar previously through books/DVDs, online lessons and a few teachers. Although I had gained some basic guitar skills, I lacked confidence, felt stuck in my learning, and frustrated that I still couldn't really play anything well. My weekly lessons at AGS have transformed my guitar learning. I am learning material that feels right for me, at a manageable pace and level of challenge. I am making progress in lots of areas - soloing, improvising, rhythm and theory. Thanks to AGS, the bits and pieces of musical knowledge I learned in the past are now coming together and making sense. I feel inspired, focused, and highly motivated to practice.

I started learning guitar as part of my Duke of Edinburgh Award. Thanks to the fantastic learning environment created by AGS, guitar has been the one constant activity throughout my 3 years of Duke of Edinburgh.

AGS has given me a gift and skill that I will carry with me throughout my life. Thank you for...

Learning in a group provides the added bonus of meeting new guitar friends and being able to jam together every week at the end of the lesson, usually on a challenging piece. Using my time wisely is important to me, the class is broken into parts that cover different aspects of the guitar and gives me lots to work on during the week. There is enough resources available from the school to assist, but if you need more you only need to ask and you will be helped. If you are serious about developing as a guitarist, AGS is the right school to be...
