We typically recommend
a 3/4 size guitar for
children 12 and
younger. Perfect for small hands!
Adults generally prefer the standard size for a fuller sound and comfortable playability.

Guitar Picks
We use picks when playing the guitar because they help us create a clear and defined sound. Picks make it easier to strum the strings and pick individual notes, giving us more control over the music we play.

Guitar Tuner
A tuned guitar is important because it ensures your strings produce the right sounds when you play. It helps you play in harmony with other instruments and makes your music sound good! Tuning also helps your ears get used to different pitches, making it easier for you to learn and play songs correctly.
This is our favourite durable, long-lasting, high quality tuner! They last forever (as long as you don't lose it!)
Guitar Bag
We need a guitar bag to protect our guitar and make it easy to carry. The bag shields the guitar from scratches, bumps, and dust, helping to keep it in good condition. It also makes it convenient to carry to guitar to lessons!
We love these cases!

A cleaning kit helps remove dirt, fingerprints, and sweat that can accumulate on the strings, fretboard, and body of your guitar. Regular cleaning with the appropriate products prevents corrosion, extends the life of your guitar, and keeps it looking and sounding its best!
