"I believe the drums share a distinct resemblance to life itself, whose 'beat' represents that of a heart, driving an impulse throughout the body & soul, not just of a particular song, but of all worldly existence, being, humanity, and the universe collectively." Joe has been teaching at Guitar Center since March 2023.
Rory Cosgrove
Distance: mi
Guitar Center Carle Place 111 Old Country Rd. Carle Place, NY
My lessons prioritize each student’s personal needs and goals, with an emphasis on ear training, improvisation, and the joy of playing music in general. In my 18+ years as a self-taught musician, I’ve come to understand the true purpose behind every aspect of playing guitar. Learning during a time before there was access to YouTube tutorials and online content, my path was a rocky one. It is because of this that I know how important it is for every student to have a guide who can help them avoid the pitfalls that I experienced myself. It would be my pleasure to help you become the guitarist of your dreams!

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.
