If you are a beginner classical guitarist, you can learn to play like the masters with a master teacher in London
Playing classical guitar today connects you to the masters of earlier times.
String instruments dates back to the days of ancient carvings and statues recovered from Egyptian, Sumerian and Babylonian civilisations. Music for the classical guitar started when the 6th string was added, way back in the 18th century.
From the Renaissance and Baroque periods, the classical guitar has evolved to modern times where it is one of the most popular forms of music today.
Now you can learn the basics of how to play and enjoy the exciting sound and style of classical guitar music as a beginner student in London.
It can be a difficult task, but it can also be enjoyable if taught in the right way and by the right teacher.
Stefan Joubert is the founder of the London Guitar Institute and is a master teacher. He has studied under some of the great guitarists. He knows that learning classical guitar is both challenging and exciting and he shares his music appreciation with you.
The London Guitar Institute has been working with beginner classical guitarists just like you in providing high-quality classical guitar lessons in central London (Mayfair and the City), and it allows its students to progress at their own individual rates.
As a student there, you won’t be rushed, and you will enjoy the journey of learning to play the music you love.
A growing list of students continues to recognise Stefan Joubert as the reason for their success and their enjoyment of music. They like the way he answers their questions, organises their lessons, shows patience, and explains everything so clearly.
That’s what a master teacher does.
