| About the Lessons |
| Getting Started |
Contact the shop and we will help direct you to an instructor or two who who can meet your needs. From there, you can schedule lessons with the instructors. |
| INSTRUCTORS |
There are about dozen instructors at the shop who can meet the instuctional needs for any type of guitar and and many other stringed intruments. All ages and levels of students are welcomed. Scroll down for a list of our instructors. |

| RATES |
$25.00 for 25 minute lesson. Lesson times are determined by student's experience level and teacher's custom. |
| PAYMENT |
Payment for lessons is payable monthly. It is due for the coming month on the last lesson of the current month. Payments are to be made directly to the teacher (NOT Harry's Guitar Shop) by check or cash only - sorry, we cannot accept credit cards for lesson payments. |
| CANCELLATION |
Teachers require 24 hour notice to cancel a lesson. With 24 hr. notice, the teacher may, at his/her discretion, re-schedule a lesson (a "make-up") or credit the lesson to the next month (a "carry-over"). Missed or canceled lessons without 24 hr. notice are forfeited without refund, unless other arrangements are made with the teacher. |
| How it Works |
Students are assigned a "slot" - a regular time and day each week to meet with his/her instructor. Availability of slots varies upon the individual teachers' schedules. Students are expected to attend every week, unless other arrangements are made with the instructor. All the student needs to bring are a guitar, a folder or notebook for transcriptions and handouts (the inexpensive 2 pocket folders are best), and any supplemental materials being used, such as CDs or TAB books, as required by the teacher. There is no set curriculum; rather, the lessons are "tailored" to the individual student's needs and goals, based on the teacher's style. We truly want to help YOU achieve your goals! |
| A Word about Cancellations... |
Our instructors try to be understanding about cancellations. However, their time (and the students' too) is valuable. As such, we can only allow one missed lesson per 4 week period. After that, any lessons canceled, even with 24 hr. notice, will be forfeited. Please note that students who miss 3 or more lesson per 4 week period may lose their slot without refund. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. |
