At a glance
Is classical guitar right for you?
Lessons are shaped around your goals. Some students want to sit graded exams, others just want to play the songs they love. Both paths are welcome here.
Who it's for
Children, teens and adults who love a refined fingerstyle sound, from complete beginners up.
Your music
Classical and Latin repertoire, studies, and arrangements of well-known melodies.
Your pathway
Work towards ABRSM or Trinity College London grades, or learn through our Leisure Learning programme with no exam pressure.
Lesson format
One-on-one at our Petaling Jaya academy. Choose a 30, 45 or 60-minute lesson depending on your level.
What you'll learn
Skills that build on each other
Every lesson balances technique with musicianship, so you can play with control and expression, not just hit the right notes.
01
Posture & hand position
The classical sitting position, guitar support and relaxed, efficient hands.
02
Right-hand technique
Rest and free strokes, arpeggios and finger independence for an even, singing tone.
03
Left-hand technique
Clean fingering, shifting up the neck, and slurs.
04
Reading music
Reading standard notation from the start, building towards sight-reading.
05
Repertoire
Studies and pieces from different periods, matched to your level.
06
Tone & expression
Tone colour, dynamics and phrasing that bring a piece to life.
Inside a lesson
How each lesson flows
Every lesson follows a clear rhythm, so you always know what you're working on and why.
1
Warm up
Scales and right-hand exercises to settle the hands.
2
Technique
One technical point at a time, demonstrated and practised together.
3
Repertoire
Your current pieces, with feedback on tone, accuracy and phrasing.
4
Next steps
A little theory, then a clear practice goal for the week ahead.
Between lessons
Real progress happens at home. Your teacher sets a short, specific practice plan each week, and parents of young learners get clear guidance on how to help.
Your journey
From first notes to Grade 8
Here's what each stage looks like, so you know what to expect before you start.
Setting expectations
Everyone moves at their own pace. Progress depends on age, practice time and goals. Your teacher will tell you honestly how you're doing and when you're ready for the next step.
01
Beginner
Foundation
Sit correctly, draw a clear tone with the right hand and read simple melodies on the top strings. Progress feels gradual at first, which is normal on classical guitar.
02
Up to Grade 3
Building
Simple pieces combining melody and bass, more of the fretboard and more confident reading.
03
Grade 4 – 5
Developing
Longer pieces, barre and position work, and finer control of tone and dynamics.
04
Grade 6 – 8 and beyond
Advanced
Concert repertoire, polished technique and your own interpretation, with a pathway on to diploma level.
