Concerts
Practice, then the stage.
Each June, students play a concert for family and friends on a real stage. No pressure, just the moment all the practice was for.
Echoes
Guitar concert
Before Echoes came Harvest, in June 2025 at the Lebanese School for the Blind and Deaf, Baabda. The same year, one of our students won a bronze medal at the World Guitar Olympiad.

Lessons
Ways to learn
Home lessons are what we’re known for. Online lessons, small groups and music initiation for under-sixes are there when they suit you better.
Our main format
Home lessons
A teacher comes to your home every week. No driving across Beirut traffic, and the student learns in the place where they’ll practise.
Who it’s for
Children and adults, from complete beginners to players preparing for exams and competitions. It’s never too late to start.
What lessons cover
Technique and scales, songs in the styles you like, ear training, improvisation, and preparation for international guitar exams.
Styles
Classical and fingerstyle, Spanish pieces, Lebanese favourites and electric rock. Recent students have played Tárrega, Malagueña, Fairuz and Bon Jovi.
Prices depend on the format, lesson length and your area. Message us for current rates.
Our approach
Lessons built around the student
Every student starts somewhere different. A child who wants to play their first song, a teenager preparing for a competition, an adult who finally has time to learn. Our teachers start from those goals and from the student’s character, and shape each lesson around them.
“We teach not just guitar. We go further, shaping minds with knowledge and touching hearts with beautiful music.”
