Do I need my own guitar to start lessons?

Having your own guitar is recommended but not a requirement for starting lessons with John Kenny Music. It’s beneficial to have a personal instrument for practicing at home and getting comfortable with your own gear. However, if you don’t have a guitar yet, don’t let that stop you from beginning your musical journey. John offers assistance in sourcing instruments and can provide expert advice to help you select the perfect guitar that suits your style and budget. This guidance ensures that when you’re ready to invest in your own guitar, you make an informed and suitable choice.

What styles of music do you teach?

At John Kenny Music, we embrace a diverse range of musical styles to cater to the varied interests of our students. Whether you are a fan of the classic strums of folk, the soulful chords of blues, the energetic riffs of rock, or the rhythmic melodies of pop, our lessons are designed to accommodate your musical preferences. We also cover other genres including country, jazz, and contemporary music. Our approach is to provide a well-rounded education, giving you the skills to play and appreciate a variety of music styles. This versatility not only enhances your playing techniques but also broadens your musical horizons, enriching your overall learning experience.

Can you help with song writing and music theory as well as guitar playing?

Absolutely! At John Kenny Music, our expertise extends beyond just teaching guitar. We offer comprehensive guidance in both songwriting and music theory, integral components for any aspiring musician.

In songwriting, we help you harness your creativity to craft your own songs, teaching you about structure, lyrics, melody, and harmony. Whether you’re starting with a few lyrics or a melody line, we’ll guide you through the process of turning your ideas into a complete, polished song.

When it comes to music theory, we believe it’s essential for understanding the ‘why’ behind the music you play. Our lessons cover the fundamentals of music theory, giving you a deeper understanding of scales, chords, rhythm, and harmony. This knowledge not only improves your guitar playing but also enhances your overall musicality, allowing you to become a more versatile and informed musician.

So, whether you’re looking to deepen your understanding of music, start writing your own songs, or improve your guitar skills, we’ve got you covered.

How are your guitar lessons structured?

Our guitar lessons at John Kenny Music are uniquely tailored to each student’s individual goals and interests. Recognising that every student has their own musical aspirations and learning style, we structure our lessons around what you wish to learn.

This personalised approach means that if you’re keen on mastering a specific genre, working on certain techniques, or even learning to play your favourite songs, your lessons will be designed to meet those specific needs. We balance this with foundational training in guitar techniques, music theory, and practical playing skills to ensure a well-rounded learning experience.

In each session, you’ll find a mix of hands-on practice, theoretical understanding, and creative exploration, all aligned with your personal objectives. This way, the lessons remain engaging, relevant, and directly focused on helping you achieve your musical dreams.
