Lora Bridges
Distance: mi
Guitar Center Cary 7123 O Kelly Chapel Rd. Cary, NC
Lora has worked at Guitar Center for the past five years and was a public school teacher for twenty. She has been immersed in music her entire life, whether it was starting piano lessons at age 6, playing alto saxophone and competitive marching band in high school (also drum major), singing in the church choir, or sitting in with her uncle’s 14-piece swing band. Even when she worked in the film business for ten years, she always carried two ukuleles to the set and would return home with one: a consummate educator who would teach cast and crew during the shoot, sell the extra and buy another for the following day. Lora loves rhythm and blues, soul, jazz, classic rock and has become a reluctant pop enthusiast due to her young students’ preferences.

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.
