What Our students are saying

If you are even thinking about learning guitar, getting better at guitar or want to have fun while you are learning music, take the free introductory lesson with Chris. You will sign up on the spot!! Chris is an excellent musician, a great teacher and an even better motivator. You will WANT to practice to improve and learn more. Chris makes it fun and pushes you to achieve YOUR goals. You will be playing songs and riffs right away ( I learned the theme from Batman the first lesso--LOL , it is really easy but hey, I learned a song). Chris keeps the class moving forward, challenging each student to the level of their ability and where they are in their musical journey. We learned a song last week and jammed. The beginners (me and another) played simple chords on the beat. The more experienced students played harmonies, solos and melodies. The advanced students improvised. End result, we all played togehter and the song sounded awesome. This group activity makes you want to practice to get better and you can not wait for the next class. Chris is always positive, helps each student through their sticking points ( I have big sausage fingers so getting a clear sound is a challenge right now, Chris works with me every week providing various exercises to help me improve and it works!!!) Come join us, take the introductory lesson and set some goals and jam on.

What a great experience so far. What I wanted out of guitar lessons is not what I have received. It's been a great deal more. I went in wanting to play the basic acoustic guitar. Chris has educated me on the technical aspects of playing which have enhanced my skill tremendously. The group class is better than I thought as it gives you time to practice a new skill that you just learned while Chris is teaching others. Music is therapeutic and so is this class. Chris has great energy and personality! You'll love it!

Very helpful and not boring. My daughter is enjoying the experience

My mom wanted me to get into guitar. At first I thought that it was just going to be another instrument that I’m gonna be forced to learn and that I’m gonna quit in a couple months. As soon as I meat Chris in person however, I saw that he was different from the rest. He was passionate and very excitable. I could to relate to his spastic attitude which helped a lot. What was different about his teaching style from the rest of the teachers that I had was that he picked songs that guitar players would want to learn and encouraged you to pick your own songs to learn. As I had more lessons with him, I realized how knowledgeable he is when it came to music theory and how he simplified it so well that a even toddler could understand it. I also like the group lessons he uses. It makes it feel like there is less pressure on you personally and gives a sense of relatability to the other players around you. I think Chris Hirsch is the best music teacher I have ever had, so much so that he inspired me to chase a career in music. 11/10, would absolutely recommend.

Chris is an exceptional teacher! He is knowledgeable, enthusiastic & so much fun! My son loves going to class every week!

I absolutely love doing lessons at Hirsch Guitar Academy! I am constantly encouraged and challenged to be better and to advance my skills. He teaches a wide variety of topics and really hones in on what each students passion and likes are. Every lesson is high energy and will you leave wanting to learn more! Would suggest lessons here to anyone looking to commit and want to learn guitar!

I’ve played guitar for a few years. I had never taken lessons and I was ready to take my guitar knowledge and playing to the next level. Chris has been the perfect fit for what I wanted and needed to do that. He has expanded and improved everything from my technique, theory, comping and becoming the “Rock Star” I was meant to be. Ha. I’m still trying to get him to do a stage presence series of lessons where he can show us his crazy stage presence. Long story short, he’s not your Grandmaw’s guitar teacher. If you want progressive in your face exciting lessons that will challenge you to learn and improve quickly.......Chris is your guy.

I have always wanted to learn how to play guitar I am glad I did. This guy is awesome Going in and not knowing anything about the craft Chris makes it so easy. Thank you bruh for what you do and how you do it. If it sounds good it’s good.

My 12 year old daughter absolutely loves the instructors and she is learning quickly! Well worth the investment!
