Play music you’ve always jammed to. Are you a metalhead or a classical connoisseur?

"But beyond the lessons is the sense of community. The management generally cares about every single client and how they’re progressing. That welcoming feeling to every lesson is amazing! We also have 'The SoundLab Jams’ in which all the students and teachers are able to get together to perform and socialise. 10/10 for The SoundLab!"

"I highly recommend The SoundLab Music School, they have fantastic staff and a really great atmosphere! My daughter Casey started Guitar lessons for the first time ever this year at The SoundLab and her progress has been amazing. Her teacher has been awesome, from the range of music she learns to the improvement in her technique. To hear Casey play guitar now you would think she has been having lessons for years. Casey’s favourite day of the week is the day of her lesson. It is the most beautiful sound in our home now, to hear Casey playing and singing away to her favourite artists, from Radiohead, Jesus Mary Chain, Jeff Buckley and many more. Thanks to The SoundLab for all your encouragement and this great experience."

"We have loved every minute of our time learning Bass at The SoundLab. As from a mother's point of view – the customer service has been amazing – keeping me and my daughter up-to-date and organised for every lesson. All my questions are answered, big or small, and in a timely manner. As for the lessons – my daughter is learning Bass Guitar and every week she is excited to go to her lesson and even more excited to leave to go home to practice the new skills she has learnt. My daughter can’t wait to start learning other instruments at The SoundLab. Now what to choose…..piano, singing, guitar, drums……."

"I’ve been learning guitar at The SoundLab for just over 10 months now. I must say these have probably been some of the best 10 months ever. Cliché as it sounds, this comment is genuine. My guitar skills have excelled through the roof and I truly look forward to every lesson – having the ability to dictate what I want to learn feels like I’m truly owning the lessons, while then being supported by a truly talented teacher."

Guitar Lessons FAQs

Where should I start if I want to learn electric guitar?

+

Starting with a guitar can feel overwhelming for a complete beginner, but taking it one step at a time can make the process enjoyable and satisfying. Everyone learns differently, but one thing is always the same – you need a good foundation from a good teacher to learn. Before you buy an electric or acoustic guitar, taking a edicated class with a great teacher is a perfect way to get familiar with the basics. An experienced instructor can take you through the fundamentals of playing and introduce you to exercises and simple songs that will strengthen your technique. Doing this will allow you to make steady progress towards mastering the guitar! Sign up for our electric guitar lessons in Melbourne today.

What is the best way to learn rock guitar?

+

Learning guitar is an incredibly rewarding experience, and the best way to achieve that is to take classes from an experienced guitarist and qualified instructor. Not only will taking classes provide you with instruction and guidance in playing, but it will also give you access to tips on theory and technique so you can attain more advanced skills or become a professional guitarist. Joining a class can help build your confidence and network by linking you up with other players who are learning too. Taking classes may also open up opportunities for performances, recordings, or collaborations with fellow musicians. Finding the right class is key, so start with The SoundLab. We offer plenty of classes and teaching styles to cater to your needs. Sign up for your first lesson today!

How many hours a day should I be practising guitar?

+

Whether you’re learning electric guitar or classical guitar, you need to practise. It is difficult to specify the exact number of hours that should be dedicated to guitar practice each day as everyone learns at their own pace. However, taking regular classes with a qualified instructor can greatly speed up the process and learning curve for the instrument. It is highly recommended to join a class if you are looking to pursue this instrument seriously, as structure and support from experienced professionals can take you further than practising alone. With that being said, taking classes or not, you must make time out of your day for regular practice; even an hour every other day will bring great progress when done consistently over time.
