Students may elect to take traditional private lessons or Suzuki lessons, or they may enter the more intensive Starling Program www.starling.org.

Guitar students may study classical or popular (jazz) guitar. Guitar for the Young is a unique classical guitar program for children starting at age 5 – 6. It requires parent involvement and begins with rote learning. It proceeds very gradually in small steps giving the student ample opportunity for musical success and technical development at each step of the way. Music reading is added once the child is comfortable with the guitar and has learned to play a few simple tunes. An afterschool guitar group class is held at the Clifton Cultural Arts Center and an adapted guitar class for students with special needs is also offered.
