Guitar

It's time to get strumming! Queen Bee offers beginning and intermediate level guitar classes for adults. You'll learn to play through familiar songs perfect for playing in your living room with friends.

We start at the very beginning, with Guitar 1, which is great for folks who have never played an instrument before. From there, you'll progress through the levels, gaining skills and songs along the way.
