Teachers at Palos Music Workshop are not only highly skillful in teaching techniques, but also act as role models to promote self-discipline and patience in their students. Having such a tutor is the best way of introducing yourself or your child to the world of stringed music. Kids are naturally attracted to certain musical instruments, and the guitar does not have a shortage of takers. That’s why we only hire guitar instructors that are experienced in teaching children. If you want to nurture your dormant musical talent, then you can leave this job in the capable hands of the guitar teachers that teach at Palos Music Workshop.

Parents often ask us what the youngest age to start learning guitar is, and our standard answer is 6 years old. Many guitar schools only accept students who are few years older than that, but we at Palos Music Workshop believe that 6 is a good age to start. This is because by this age, most children’s hands have enough finger strength to handle the instrument and the basic dexterity it requires. It’s all about teaching songs that are not beyond the capabilities of the child, so they have a realistic goal they can reach and feel good about, to reinforce their interest in music.
