Welcome to your trusted local destination for individualized music instruction. At Classic Guitar & Bass Studio, located near Woodmoor, Four Corners, Takoma Park, and Downtown Silver Spring, we provide private guitar and bass lessons for all ages and skill levels. Whether you’ve never touched a guitar before, are returning after years away, or are preparing for advanced auditions, our studio offers professional, structured, and highly personalized music education.
With decades of performance experience in classical, jazz, Latin, blues, and contemporary guitar, our instructor brings real-world artistry into every session. Lessons are never rushed, never standardized — and always designed to help you grow at your own musical pace.
We offer training across multiple styles and instruments:
Classical Guitar
Spanish / Flamenco Guitar
Acoustic Fingerstyle
Jazz, Blues, Latin & Soul
