Frequently Asked Questions
Can young kids take guitar lessons?
Younger students (6 and older) are encouraged to start on half-size acoustic guitars before advancing to a 3/4 or full-size instrument. Acoustic guitar is encouraged for beginning students since they have slimmer necks and nylon strings, which are easier on the fingers. After the beginning stage of guitar lessons, one can continue on to the electric guitar if desired.
How old does my child have to be to take private guitar lessons?
We highly recommend that the child be 6 years old to begin guitar lessons. Children should also start out on half-size guitars to accommodate their smaller fingers and hands. After that, students can move up to ¾ size and then full-size guitars and even electric guitar if desired.
Do you teach adults as well?
Absolutely! We teach students of all ages and offer flexible scheduling to accommodate busy schedules.
Can I try a guitar lesson first to see if I like it?
To make sure it’s the right fit for you, we offer a free introductory trial lesson with one of our guitar teachers. After that, you can choose to buy one month of guitar lessons at a time (4 lessons), or sign up for a 3 or 6-month plan for a reduced cost.
What availability do you have for guitar lessons?
We are open 7 days a week and offer mostly afternoon (1:00 pm and later) and evening time slots. On Saturdays and Sundays, we offer morning slots as well. Availability for guitar lessons will vary by guitar teacher availability, so give us a call at (626) 628-2485 or text us at (626) 628-2485 to find out what we have available.

My 5 year old son wanted to take piano lessons so we reached out to JF music academy. They were running a special for January plus a free introductory class. Ms Lorraine is our sons teacher and he's really enjoying his sessions. He is enjoying his sessions so I'm hoping he will continue his Interest in learning.

Nicest people in the world! I brought my niece for her first guitar and the teacher was great, along with the young lady who helped us out in the front. My niece is loving the lessons and I couldn't be happier about who amazing they are l, and the level of professionalism.

I started taking guitar lessons with Alex about 2 months ago. It has been fantastic. Everyone at the school is incredibly nice, and it really has a low-key small town community type atmosphere. My lesson is one of the best parts of my week and I look forward to it every time. Most of the students are children, but I'm not. If you think you are too old to start an instrument or to take music lessons, you are incorrect! It's never too late to strike up the band. Give it a try, you will be glad you did.

They're really professional there. I got to take piano lessons while in high school, and although I didn't appreciate it then, it was a great experience. I later took guitar and piano lessons there as an adult, and I was happy with their teachers. The staff was always accommodating. When I have kids, I will definitely be taking them there. The teachers are great!

Online zoom call lessons have been working great. Patient teachers, service oriented front desk staff, charter school payment allowed. This place has been excellent for my 3 children. We took guitar, song writing, mandarin, piano, and tried out a music application type class for our youngest preschool age child.
