For the past decade we&#8217;ve taught acoustic, classical and electric guitar from our studio at East Coast Road, Katong\u2014 to primary school kids picking up their first instrument, to working adults finally learning the songs they grew up with.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We don&#8217;t run a one-size-fits-all syllabus. We start every student with a structured first month, then shape the lessons around what you actually want to play, whether that&#8217;s Grade 8 classical repertoire or getting through an Ed Sheeran set at a wedding.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What you&#8217;ll learn<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n \t<li>Correct posture, fretting and picking technique from the first lesson<\/li>\n \t<li>Open and barre chords, and the strumming patterns behind most pop songs<\/li>\n \t<li>Fingerstyle playing, scales and lead technique for electric players<\/li>\n \t<li>Reading chord charts, tab and standard notation<\/li>\n \t<li>Music theory as it applies to the guitar, not as a separate chore<\/li>\n \t<li>Exam preparation for ABRSM, Trinity Rock &amp; Pop, and LCM\/RGT if you want the graded route<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Who it&#8217;s for<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Children from around age six, teenagers, and adults of any age. Complete beginners are the majority of our new students \u2014 you don&#8217;t need to own a guitar to book your first lesson, and we&#8217;ll help you choose one when you&#8217;re ready.We teach three guitar types: classical (nylon string), acoustic (steel string) and electric. If you&#8217;re not sure which suits you, tell us the music you like and we&#8217;ll point you the right way.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ed1eadd elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ed1eadd\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f7570cd\" data-id=\"f7570cd\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2f49bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"f2f49bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;hosted&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;play_on_mobile&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;mute&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;loop&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-hosted-video elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<video class=\"elementor-video\" src=\"http:\/\/thesixthstringmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/CINEMATIC-GUITAR-B-ROLL_Trim-1.mp4\" autoplay=\"\" loop=\"\" muted=\"muted\" playsinline=\"\" controlsList=\"nodownload\"><\/video>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9911c92 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9911c92\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f025090\" data-id=\"f025090\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3631eeb elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3631eeb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Our passionate teachers provide a holistic music education supported by their vast experience and exposure in the music field. <\/strong>\n\nOur guitar teachers are working musicians with\naccreditation from institutions including LaSalle,\nSchool of the Arts, the ABRSM, Trinity Guildhall, Trinity\nRock &amp; Pop and the London College of Music\n(LCM\/RGT).
