We understand your busy schedule, which is why we’ve developed the Arpeggio® lesson system. Unlike other programs that follow rigid song sequences like Suzuki or ABRSM, our approach focuses on teaching skills that empower kids to play any music they want—a true journey of growth and learning.

For kids who show a deeper commitment to playing the guitar, we provide the tools to take their skills to the next level. From refining techniques to selecting the right equipment, we ensure your child’s needs are met.
Whether preparing for auditions, playing in bands, or building confidence as an independent musician, our lessons provide a path for success and growth.
If your child has shown exceptional promise on the guitar, we've got the experience to help. Our guitar program is top notch, and we've even helped students win auditions into masters degree guitar programs at major universities.
With personalized instruction and a proven system, Sage Music is the trusted choice for guitar lessons for kids. Help your child discover the joy of music and reach their full potential—one chord at a time!

Many of our students come to us after feeling frustrated with other guitar learning methods. They’ve tried video courses or lessons that weren’t tailored to their needs—platforms like YouTube, Justin Guitar, Keith Urban, Fender Play, or TakeLessons.
They’ve worked with instructors who lacked proper training or relied on generic methods that didn’t deliver results. Often, they were left:
This lack of progress led them to seek a better solution—and they found it with Sage Music.

While they are similar, the three types of guitar are all slightly different. They require slightly different technique, and they are used for different music. If you need help choosing the right kind of guitar for your lessons, let us know. We’ll be happy to help.
We offer specialized lesson on the acoustic guitar. Whether you are looking to strum some chords while you sing, play fingerstyle guitar, or learn how to play in a band, we’ll design a program for your specific needs.
There are many different styles and shapes of acoustic guitar too, so we’d be happy to help you find the right one for you.
Having the right instrument will help you make the fastest progress possible in your lessons.
We take pride in our Classical Guitar program. Sage Music's founder is a nationally recognized teacher of classical guitar, director of the acclaimed NYC Guitar Orchestra, a professor of music at a the City University of New York and has over 30 world premieres to his credit.
Under his leadership, we are able to provide you with the highest level of classical guitar training, plus additional opportunities and access to the classical guitar world. Not only will you learn solid technique, but you will learn artistry and interpretation, and everything you need to know about the business of making music on the guitar.
The electric guitar offers a whole range of opportunities and sounds that are not possible on the acoustic or classical guitar, which we find very exciting!
In your lessons at Sage Music, you will learn not only the proper technique for playing the electric guitar, but also the ensemble skills you need to play with others, how to improvise and solo, and how to set up your amps and effects to get the best possible sound and tone. We take a holistic approach to your learning of the guitar.
Sage Music offers guitar lessons for students of all ages and abilities in person and online at the following locations.
