I see reviews about them working well with kids. Let me address the other end of the tunnel. I'm 61 and have a lot of music experience but not a lot of time on guitar. Ted is extremely flexible in how he approaches teaching - matching it to your understanding of music theory - which makes the lessons extremely useful for more than JUST motivation to practice. Comfortable atmosphere - focused on teaching. Highly recommended. More...

Austin Guitar School is THE BEST! The teachers are great players who also know how to instruct. I’ve wanted to learn all my life, and I’m finally getting somewhere. Thanks, Ted Hall!

Both of my kids have been taking lessons for close to two years and love Austin Guitar School. They've been taught by several instructors and attend a variety of classes - guitar, keyboard, voice, and band. All of the teachers are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and make lessons fun and engaging for both children and adults. The owner, Ted Hall, always makes time to say hello and does his best to work with parents and students with any scheduling conflicts; and to make sure that teacher and student are a "good fit" for each other. There is a newly built stage in the back for student band practices, regularly scheduled performances, and jam sessions. Zane and Rufus (two very loving dogs) greet new arrivals and even keep parents and guests company while they wait. I highly recommend Austin Guitar School and all of the teachers to anyone wanting to learn or improve their musical abilities. More...

My 10-year old has been taking lessons at Austin Guitar School with Jesse for over 2 years. Jesse is a wonderful teacher who always makes sure to teach songs that my child is actually interested in learning (lots of Taylor Swift right now). This keeps her interest up and inspires her to practice during the week. Ted Hall, the owner, always makes time for us when we have questions and the wonderful dogs, Zane & Rufus, keep me company while I wait for my daughters lesson. Frequently, visiting with the doggies is the highlight of my day :-) More...

My son has been going for about a month and he's really enjoying his lessons with Jesse. After each lesson he's excited to show me what he's learned.
We're super happy with the lessons.
And while we wait for him, the doggies are a highlight of each visit. They're sweet and playful. My youngest one thinks they're great!

My 7 year old daughter started guitar lessons at Austin Guitar School 6 weeks ago and we couldn't be happier!! When I called the school to discuss our options, the owner, Ted Hall, was incredibly friendly and asked me specific questions to get a better understanding of my daughter's needs. He determined that Jennifer Sullivan would be a perfect match. And let me tell you, she most certainly is!! My daughter has responded so well to Jennifer's teaching style. Jennifer is a master at building her confidence and getting her to practice at home. Which is crucial. Jennifer also speaks to me and my husband after every lesson to give us an idea of what was covered in that day's session and what our daughter should focus on when practicing at home. Jennifer also, very wisely, suggested combining some piano lessons along with the guitar lessons and it is VERY clear that this has helped our kid immensely in her understanding of notes and chords. We will continue to sign our daughter up for lessons as long as she continues to practice and continues learning. Which it's clear will be the case. The whole school has instilled a since of excitement about playing music, and we just couldn't be happier about that! As a side note, I would like to add that I personally love going to the school. Everybody is friendly, kind and extremely helpful. Three teachers have taken time out of their schedules to work on the (rather crummy) electric guitar my daughter insists on using. They kindly work on that guitar, without hesitation. Plus, who doesn't want to hang out with the two sweetest doggies in town?! More...

Ted Hall is an outstanding teacher. His lessons are informative and he lets you pick the songs, style, technique etc. that you want to improve or learn. I highly recommend his school.

Ted Hall, who is the owner of AGS, is great to work with and very accommodating. He is dedicated to helping new and experienced players to learn and love playing music.
Paul Lidel, my teacher, is FANTASTIC! With me he has used a song based approach to teach me how to play the guitar (I was playing Black Sabbath songs in a week). Paul is extremely patient and has dozens of different of ways to help you move forward if you get stuck on a particular aspect of playing. I have progressed from playing basic power chords, to full bar chords, syncopated rhythms to solos over the last 3 years, and I am tone deaf with no natural rhythm.
If you are looking to learn to play, check Austin Guitar School!!!

My daughter has taken guitar lessons for a couple of years with Paul Lidel, and we have only good things to say. She likes that he teaches by using songs that she wants to learn and not just practicing chords and scales. She says he's patient and goes into things in depth. She's happy and is steadily improving, so we're happy. More...
