OUR STUDIO TEACHING LOCATIONS:

Round Rock – 200-A Northwest Dr. (Near hwy. 79 and N. Mays)

North Austin – We have an afternoon teacher at NYOS charter school on Mondays and Wednesdays (near Yager & Lamar).

Several of our Instructors teach from their home (South Austin and Northwest Austin.) Please inquire.

HOURS WE TEACH:

Studio teaching hours: varies upon demand but normally until about 8 pm., Monday-Friday. Home-schoolers can be scheduled earlier in the day. We will try hard to organize a Childbloom group with you in mind. We just need to know when you and your child are available.

OUR TEACHERS ARE EXCEPTIONAL:

Teaching guitar to children requires specialized training. All our Instructors are licensed and trained by The Childbloom Co. Read about our six great, certified and experienced Central Texas Childbloom Guitar Instructors HERE. They are career educators. All have been vetted, trained, tested and certified by the Childbloom Co. 

Our teachers are focused on motivating and growing musicianship in our students. That must be why we have the highest retention rate for our students and why past Childbloom students are now bringing their children to Childbloom!

OUR GUITAR lesson STRUCTURE – WHY IT IS SO SUCCESSFUL:

SMALL GROUPS – We usually teach our guitar lessons in small groups maximum 4, minimum 2 kids per group. We also offer private lessons for some advanced students or students with social or cognitive special needs.

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT – We ask that a parent attend the lesson so parents know what to do at home to support their child’s learning. 

STUDENTS STICK WITH IT LONGER – We know how easy it is for kids to start music lessons and quit them. We developed our small group format over 40 years ago to combat that tendency. Childbloom guitar lessons have proven to keep the students engaged longer. When kids stick with it they build more real skill! 

Childbloom groups are also more meaningful for the students. Why? 1) Because parents are part of the process; 2) students learn to play music together – they become part of something bigger; 3) Students develop relationships with peers who share their interest; 4) Students will see peers encounter the same challenges which motivates each student to meet their own challenges. 

CAREFUL GROUPING – Students are grouped according to age and experience level. Our unique curriculum allows the student to move at an individual pace within the group. The Childbloom guitar classes have been called ”learning in a positive, low-pressure environment” by leading child psychologist, Dr. Harold Grotevant. That is a winning formula for the growth of talent.

Most of our students start as beginners. It is not unusual for a young child to continue learning with us through high-school!  We’d be glad to offer a free trial lesson for you. Click here to make an appointment. If your child has had lessons with a non-Childbloom teacher we can determine his or her level of skill with a visit. We don’t mind spending time letting you get to know us since music education is a life-long endeavor.

If your child has a friend (or sibling) who wishes to join the class, let us know. That makes scheduling easier and quicker. But a good Childbloom class, at a time convenient for your schedule, ensures the maximum skill development and positive experience for your child.

   GuitarS – GETTING THE RIGHT ONE 

 GUITARS: Yes, your child will need a guitar at home to practice. We have searched the market and stock the ones that provide the best value and are the RIGHT SIZE (!) for the students. You DO NOT need to purchase a guitar from us. But PLEASE call us if you’re going to purchase one elsewhere or on the internet so we can guide you in that purchase. It is very important to get the type of instrument that is easy to play and develops your child’s interest. This choice ensures that your child can also develop proper ergonomic skill and musicality. We’ll be glad to help.
