Students report very positive experiences at Beginners 1: Guitar for Absolute Beginners, praising the friendly and professional nature of the staff and teachers as well as the enjoyable and engaging structure of the classes. Many of the students emphasized the effectiveness of the courses, as they struggled to learn guitar on their own prior to enrolling, but felt a significant boost in confidence and ability during and after the course. They enjoyed the practical approach of the lessons, where emphasis was put on learning and playing actual songs from the very first lesson. The class size and composition were also appreciated by students who liked learning with peers with similar skill levels. Many students found the pace and structure of the course manageable, even alongside professional commitments. Quotes: 1. "I am truly an absolute beginner, and it was nice to take a class with peers that were at the same level." 2. "From the first class, you play actual songs and gain confidence in your playing." 3. "It’s a very inviting space - you’ll want to make sure to rent or have a guitar at home to practice. It makes a world of difference when you really do practice 10-15 minutes even just a couple times a week."
