All your questions answered...

How Soon Can I Start Playing My First Song?

You will be surprised at how fast you can begin making music! Starting with your first guitar lessons today, you will learn basic chords and strumming styles to play easy songs. We have a friendly place for beginners to succeed.

Do I need to bring my own guitar to guitar lessons at JAM Music School?

We suggest that you bring your own instrument if you have one. This way, you can practice what you learned in your guitar lessons today. If you don’t have one, we have acoustic guitars, electric guitars, and bass guitars that you can use during your lessons.

How Do Guitar Lessons Work at JAM?

Based right in the heart of Tunbridge Wells at United Reformed church, providing the optimal acoustics, Joe will welcome you to a trial guitar lesson for either yourself or your child. We teach kids from the age of 5+, teens and adults.Joe will start from the basics; beginning by getting to know you, his student, understanding what level you're currently at, your playing style, what you want to achieve, and other important stuff, like who your favourite artist is at the moment. By understanding your musical vibe, we can help you become the musician you want to be in our courses. He will then be able to properly offer guitar tips and guitar tricks for acoustic and electric guitars, how to hold your guitar pick and lots more, to immediately make you feel more comfortable with your instrument. We pretty much took all sheet music and threw it out the window. Why? Not because we don't believe in music theory, because we believe that the best way of learning music theory comes from good intuition which helps build your ear as a musician, you learn by doing, and getting a feel for your instrument, this keeps kids really excited and allows adults a relaxed and enjoyable step away from the desk! Gradually over time, as you or your child improves, we'll recommend putting them into a band to play alongside their peers and new potential JAM friends, to really put what they've learnt into practise and have fun. 

Can I learn guitar in 2 months?

In short; your skills will develop as quickly as you're willing to dedicate the time and practise. Here at JAM we can help guide along the way. Anyone can learn how to play the guitar with the right instruction. Beginner guitar lessons provide the necessary foundation for developing basic acoustic guitar or electric guitar skills. These skills include proper hand position, fretting, and strumming technique. Our one to one guitar lessons are a great way to get started, as they provide step-by-step instructions from our expert tutors and allow you to practice at your own pace, so you can soon be performing the songs you love. Once you have mastered the basics, you can join a JAM band to better your skills more quickly! So, it's time to start taking guitar lessons!

What about for Experienced Guitar players?

Guitar lessons with our guitar teachers are a great way to teach people of all ages how to play guitar. Experienced guitar players can teach beginners the basics of how to hold the instrument, how to tune the strings, and how to make basic chords. They can also help more experienced guitarists improve their technique and avoid bad habits. In addition, guitar lessons can be customised to fit the needs of any student, whether they are a beginner or a more experienced player. And, because guitars are relatively affordable instruments, they are a great option for kids who want to learn how to play music. So, whether you're a beginner or already smashing those riffs, a JAM guitar course can be a great way to improve your skills and have some fun.

What Is The Average Cost of Guitar Lessons?

A 1-1 guitar or bass guitar lesson lasts 30 minutes and is £23.65 with our expert guitar tutors. Our prices are per term.

My son absolutely loves his drum lessons and teachers. He always looks forward to his sessions each week. It's great to see his confidence gradually building and how happy it makes him when he learns a new beat. As well as being taught, he loves the fact the teachers also allow him to pick songs and experiment with sounds himself too. Theo is looking forward to the start of another term with Jam. Thank you.

JAM school has changed my teens daughter life. For years she was doing ABRSM grades but when she joined JAM that when she started enjoying playing an instrument. Not only her one to one guitar lessons are great, the best is playing in a band. The social side of this, soon becomes the best part of the weekend. New friendships, encourage to try new instruments, to try singing, to perform in front of people, etc.... we are very lucky to have JAM school in Tunbridge Wells!

Bringing Rock & Roll into Teaching Guitar to Kids and Adults.

There are many skill levels to choose from and play, and it can be hard to know where to start. However, with a little bit of patience and practice, anyone can become a great guitar player. One of the best things about one to one guitar lessons is that they can be tailored to any skill level, from beginners to those who have been playing for years. Another great benefit of guitar lessons is that they can be a fun and rewarding experience for kids of all ages, giving kids a way to turn their favourite music into a challenge they can enjoy and be proud of. Joe, our guitar tutor is extremely patient and experienced, and helps JAM kids learn at their own pace. As a result, guitar lessons can be a great way for kids to develop their musical skills and have fun at the same time. From acoustic guitar lessons to bass guitar lesson to electric guitar lessons, whatever your guitar playing vibe is, we can adapt to different styles and help you start playing what you love listening to. At JAM we believe that learning guitar or bass guitar in a safe rock 'n' roll community like JAM really gives our kids a safe space to call their own, by using music to help them with their independence and individuality and have fun. 

"I see JAM as our responsibility to make Rock 'n' Roll a safe space, to keep kids from getting in trouble and allow them a healthy and enjoyable outlet"

- Joe Kaye, Founder

Uncover Your Musical Potential: Your Guitar Journey Begins

The guitar is special. It can turn deep feelings into lovely music. At JAM Music School, we think everyone has a song inside them, just waiting to be played. Learning the guitar is a way to discover yourself, gain discipline, and experience joy.

We are here to support you fully, from the basic skills to more advanced techniques. Whether you want to play meaningful tunes or fast, exciting solos, we aim to help you show your true feelings through music.

Every guitar legend started as a beginner. They all faced the same early challenges. Many new guitar players find it hard to use their fingers well and coordinate their movements while learning their first chords. It takes time and practice to build the muscle memory needed for smooth transitions.

Once you know the basics, it’s time to improve your skills. You might want to try electric guitar, learn advanced fingerstyle techniques, or get good at improvisation in the music you love. At JAM, our expert tutors can teach you from the ground up.
