What we’re about

At Muziekacademie Amsterdam we offer unique group courses for different beginner levels. Our level 1 course is specifically designed for absolute beginners and we start a new level 1 course about every one to two months.

If you can already play a little and know the basics we always have courses running on different levels that you can join mid course. In that case we will evaluate your level and then decide which group suits you best. You can then try out one lesson for free and afterwards decide if you would like to sign up.

Our courses are not only a great way to learn the basics of playing the guitar, but also a fantastic chance to meeting new people while having fun playing music together. Twice a year you will also get the chance to perform with your group and in one of our adult student concerts at the legendary Amsterdam bar 'Societeit De Kring' on Leidseplein.
