Learning to play a musical instrument is a challenging and rewarding experience that you can enjoy for the rest of your life. At George's Music, we offer private, one-on-one lessons tailored to your style and ability. Currently, GMI offers in-store lessons at all of our locations with the exception of Jacksonville Beach and Orange Park. For those locations we have our George's Music Teaching Association where we can help connect you with a local instructor in your area. For your convenience, we've provided the following answers to frequently asked questions from our students.
Q:
What will lessons teach me?
A:
Quite simply, lessons will teach you anything you want to learn. Just let your teacher know what style of music or what songs you'd like to learn. They can customize your lessons to fit any style of music and any level of expertise.
Q:
Who is my teacher?
A:
Your teacher is a qualified music instructor with serious musical training and dedication to their instrument. In many cases, the instructors

They are quite capable of teaching you the finer points of playing
technique and music theory. The relationship you build with your teacher
will be a strong one as you learn and progress.

A:
The full month of lessons is paid for on the first calendar week of

and tell a sales associate that you want to pay for lessons. You’ll
need to provide the following information:
- your name
- your teacher’s name
Lessons may be paid for with cash, check or debit card only.
After you’ve paid for your lessons, the sales associate will give
you two copies of your receipt. The white copy is for your
records. The yellow copy is to be given to your teacher. It’s very
important that you give your teacher a copy of the receipt.
