Guitar Center Little Rock 12315 Chenal Parkway Suite A Little Rock, AR
My name is Aaron, and I've been making music for as long as I can remember. I started singing in church at around 5 years old and learned to play the trombone in the 6th grade. I soaked up everything I could in marching band and winning individual competitions and even continued through to college, where I eventually auditioned for a spot with the top touring choir at my university and really started refining my musical approach. I had a few friends teach me some pointers on how to apply my skills to the guitar and have been jamming out nearly every day since. My teaching methodology tends to focus heavily on ear training - teaching the mind to hear what we're ABOUT to do, whether we're singing or playing an instrument or turning a knob on a synthesizer. A solid grasp of the time-tested fundamentals of music will ensure that you can maintain a sense of confident awareness in any performance environment, and that means you can join the rest of us in doing the most fun thing in the world - making music with and for your friends.

Frequently Asked Questions
Each instructor customizes lessons to ensure you are learning what you like and having fun. Your instructor will start you slowly, introducing new concepts each week, plus give you exercises or easy songs to play to keep you learning at home.
Learning an instrument is an enriching and rewarding experience that creates lifelong benefits, including increased self-esteem and the boosting of memory. Additionally, benefits for school-age individuals can include improved coordination, the expanding of social skills, and higher scores in math, reading and language.
30-minute lessons allow young or beginner students to learn the basics of the instrument and start playing songs. 60-minute lessons are ideal for more advanced students looking to progress faster and focus on the finer points of technique.
This varies by age and the type of goals the student has set out to achieve. However, most new students usually spend 15–30 min. practicing daily, while advanced students can practice for an hour or more each day in between lessons.
Our flexible curriculum allows students of all skill levels to experience growth. We help create a foundational understanding of music theory through the style of music you want to play. Our instructors will work to understand your goals and passions, and make sure you are on the path to learning what you want at your own speed.
Our Lessons staff will work with you to determine your current skill level, stylistic interest and ambitions. We'll then help you choose an instructor who best suits your style and goals. If at any point, you'd like to change instructors, let us know. Our weekly monitoring of progress and wide-ranging curriculum means you can switch to any of our qualified instructors, or another instrument, without missing a beat.
