Music Instruction

It is our mission to provide a learning experience that is both pleasurable and productive while helping you achieve goals both big and small. We are pleased to offer guitar (both electric and acoustic) and bass guitar lessons to students of all backgrounds, ages, and abilities at our Edgewater, MD storefront.

We believe our teachers to be the finest, most skilled, musically diverse group available. Each one unique, yet equally skilled to guide students in nearly any genre of interest. At Bay Tunes Guitars, teachers are more like family as the majority of them have been with us for more than a decade.

At Bay Tunes Guitars, each lesson is tailored to the desires and needs of the student. There are no programs, books, or video lessons available today that can help you reach your goals faster that one-on-one instruction. We encourage our teachers to draw on their vast experience to formulate a unique curriculum for each student.

All lessons are billed at a rate of $35 per 30 minute lesson. Pre-payment and auto-billing are required.
