The guitar and its stringed cousins are some of the most personal musical instruments you can learn to play. From the moment you pick them up and begin to pluck or strum, the sound emanates away from you, but at the same time you feel it in your body and hands. Anyone, of any skill level, can create sound from their strings. They are expressive while being immediate — and so it's no wonder that guitar is one of the most popular musical instruments in the world!

New York Guitar Teachers was formed to help help artists of all ages and skill levels shape and love that immediacy and personal connection to guitar, mandolin, ukelele, and more. We create the most available and welcoming experience by dismissing the idea of only teaching one method.

Everyone’s interpretation of an instrument can be different, and guitar allows for these individual approaches more than most. New York Guitar Teachers encourage that individuality in each session and go to great lengths to create a customized lesson plan for each student.

Supported by over a decade of professional and educational diversity and achievement, New York Guitar Teachers ensures a sensitive and organized experience for every student regardless of age, experience, or dedication. This tailor-made coaching experience invites any and all of the numerous styles that the guitar accompanies and enjoys. As our director, Eli Zoller, likes to say, “I never teach the lesson — I always teach the student!”
