Main Line School of Music and Dance-Havertown Guitar Lessons
If you are looking for fun, educational, and inspiring acoustic or electric guitar lessons from top-notch teachers in Havertown, you don’t have to look any further. The Main Line School of Music and Dance started out in 1988 as a guitar school and since that time we have taught thousands of students of all ages and levels how to play acoustic and electric guitar.
Testimonial
“We have decades of experience, in both the music and dance schools, at Main Line; 2 kids, 3 musical instruments. I am not sure there is a family at the school who has logged more hours at the Ardmore location. The instructors are of outstanding quality; certainly regional, and some with national and international credentials. What is nice is that most instructors have been teaching at Main Line for years; they ‘get it’; the kids have achieved success at Main Line that permeates their non music and dance lives. The Main Line administration is accommodating and reasonable. Challenges always emerge, and we have been uniformly satisfied with mutually agreed upon results. Main Line has figured out the recipe to have music and dance education a natural fit into everyone’s lives. Main Line is as good as it gets.” (Parents of Andrew and Maeve)

Our Guitar Teachers

Many of our guitar instructors even have a Master’s degree or a Ph.D., but most importantly, our teachers vary their teaching methods to match your individual learning style. Main Line Music School guitar teachers are youthful, fun and will engage you with material that is both interesting and exciting while tempering it with the necessary amount of structure. Additionally, you get to select your own repertoire so you can learn the songs that inspire you. Our guitar instructors combine a mixture of teaching you how to read music while also teaching you how to incorporate your ear so you can hear and recognize notes and melodies.

Beginner Acoustic and Electric Guitar Lessons in Havertown
Many of our students start out as beginner guitar players. You will find that all of our guitar teachers are familiar with current popular acoustic and electric guitar music, as well as classic rock, heavy metal, jazz and acoustic music. If you are not sure what style of music you want to study, we can help you decide by exposing you to the different genres of music. You will be able to apply the guitar skills that you will learn to any style of music that interests you. With diligent, daily practice on your part, we guarantee that you will be able to play at least one song on the guitar within the first few months of your lessons. However, many of our guitar students learn a lot more than one song. You will learn basic chords, scales and other beginning guitar techniques that will help you progress to the intermediate and advanced levels.
Intermediate to Advanced Guitar Lessons in Havertown
As an intermediate to advanced student of the guitar, you will learn improvising techniques, advanced scales, chords, arpeggios and a myriad of other fun techniques. Most importantly, you will learn how music works and gain a greater understanding about how songs are composed on the guitar. Studying key signatures, scales, chords, rhythm (and the theory behind songwriting) is paramount to your success on the acoustic or electric guitar.
Performance Opportunities
We offer you a minimum of two performance opportunities each year at our music showcases. Students perform on a variety of instruments including electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bass, piano, voice, woodwinds, drums and strings. Performers also range from beginner to advanced abilities. Some of the benefits that you get from performing in the showcase include:
- Performing in front of an audience builds confidence.

Learning to play with other guitar players or musicians on other instruments is paramount in your development as a well-rounded guitar player.
