Rock The Stages offers Aurora, Centennial, and Highlands Ranch guitar lessons that are fun, structured, and confidence‑building. Our program combines structured private guitar instruction with real performance opportunities, helping students of all ages develop technique and musical identity.
Students can start with the basics (holding the guitar, strumming, chords, and rhythm) or advance into lead guitar, fingerstyle, improvisation, and band performance. Lessons are available in Aurora, Centennial, and Highlands Ranch, with flexible scheduling and experienced instructors who tailor every lesson to the student.
Why Choose Rock The Stages:
How to Get Started
Our Guitar Programs
Guitar Lessons for Beginners
Beginner guitar students start with the essentials such as proper hand positioning, tuning, chords, strumming, rhythm, and basic scales. Lessons use real rock and pop songs to keep students engaged while building strong foundations.
Private weekly lessons are paired with optional group rehearsals so beginners gain confidence, creativity, and real-world playing experience early on.
Intermediate to Advanced Guitar Lessons
Intermediate and advanced students refine technique while expanding into soloing, improvisation, advanced chords, and music theory. Guitarists apply these skills during band rehearsals and live performances, learning how to play confidently with other musicians.
This balance of one-on-one instruction and group playing prepares students for the stage, not just the practice room.
Guitar Lessons for Kids
Our kids’ guitar lessons are designed to be encouraging, structured, and fun. Young students learn real songs while developing rhythm, coordination, and confidence. Lessons are paced by age and experience, so beginners feel comfortable and returning students stay challenged.
From first chords to first performances, kids grow as musicians while building friendships along the way.
Guitar Lessons for Teens
Teen guitar lessons focus on creativity, independence, and performance skills. Students learn electric and acoustic guitar, explore the music they love, and build advanced techniques through private lessons and group rehearsals.
Teens gain confidence performing live and collaborating with peers in a supportive, motivating environment.
Guitar Lessons for Adults
Adult guitar lessons are welcoming, flexible, and goal-oriented. Whether you’re picking up a guitar for the first time or returning after years away, lessons are customized to your interests and pace.
Adults receive private instruction with the option to join group rehearsals, learn favorite songs, and experience the excitement of live performance in a relaxed setting.
What to Expect in Highlands Ranch, Aurora & Centennial Guitar Lessons

SUCCESS STORY
From Shy Beginner to Confident Teacher
“My daughter Caitlyn, who goes by Blue, started taking lessons from Max over 6 years ago. When she started she was homeschooled and did not have many friends. As she continued to attend guitar lessons she met tons of new friends at Rock The Stages and her confidence grew both musically and personally. What is so incredible is she worked really hard and now has her first job teaching guitar at the school. I could not be more proud of her and happy with our experience at Rock The Stages!”
-Blue’s Mom, Janell
