Why Take Guitar Lessons at Joy Music Studio in Singapore?
At Joy Music Studio, we teach Acoustic Guitar, Classical Guitar and Beginner Ukulele for ages 6 and up.
Beginners learn chords, strumming, posture, hand position, simple tabs, rhythm, fingerpicking, timing, coordination, and popular songs to build confidence. Advanced students refine notation reading, technical control, musical creativity, and soloing skills.
Our lessons are tailored to each student’s individual pace and musical style, using globally recognized standards including Rockschool, Trinity, and ABRSM to ensure steady progress and exam certifications.
We also offer workshops and holiday camps for kids and teens to explore the guitar and develop their skills in a fun, supportive environment.
Which type of Guitar Lesson is right for you?
Classical Guitar
Classical guitar suits beginners: nylon strings are gentle, and it fits classical, Latin, pop and folk. Acoustic guitar suits advanced players, offering rich tone for fingerstyle, complex chords and subtle dynamics.
Our guitar teachers teach posture, hand coordination, fingerstyle and music reading in a supportive setting that protects beginners’ fingertips while keeping progress steady and motivation high.
Beginner Ukulele
This “small” instrument delivers surprisingly big sound. Ideal for beginners of all ages, the ukulele is a friendly first step for kids from 3 to 93.
Whether you want to strum along to your favourite pop songs or develop technique for graded exams, the ukulele helps you reach your musical goals — and makes it easy to take your music anywhere.
Acoustic Guitar
Inspired by Ed Sheeran or Taylor Swift? The steel‑string acoustic guitar—popular across pop, blues, folk and country—is portable and amp‑free, making it ideal for songwriting, campfires, busking and everyday practice.
Beginner‑friendly yet fully capable of advanced techniques and rich tonal expression, it’s the perfect durable creative companion for aspiring and experienced singer‑songwriters alike.
Electric Guitar
Play guitar like a rock star—shred solos and infuse feeling into every chord. Electric guitars suit beginners drawn to rock, metal, blues, or modern country.
Using an amp to shape tone, they have smaller bodies, thinner necks, and lighter strings than acoustics, making chords, riffs, and solos easier and more expressive. With proper amp settings and practice, they unlock many sounds and techniques.
So, which guitar should you choose?
Here are two things to consider when choosing a guitar:
1. Styles of music you want to play.
Each type of guitar has unique characteristics which make it best suited for certain genres of music. We recommend that you choose a guitar that is best suited to your preferred musical style.
For a comprehensive list of music styles suited to each guitar type, check out the blog article, “Choosing a Guitar: Acoustic, Classical, or Electric?” by Jason Sagebiel of Sage Music School.
2. Physical considerations.
Classical guitar, due to its light weight and lower string tension, is recommended for young children.
Adults with short fingers may find an acoustic guitar easier to handle than a classical guitar due to its narrower guitar neck.
People with left shoulder, upper back, or rotator cuff injuries should consider the weight or the thickness of a guitar body, which can make one guitar type better suited to their physical condition.
Once you have decided on the styles of music that you most want to play, we can help you choose the type of guitar best suited for you!
