GUITAR ACADEMY MIDHURST
Group guitar lessons in Midhurst — learn songs, make friends, keep playing
Guitar Academy is coming to Midhurst. Following the success of our Petersfield studio and Chichester group sessions, we’re launching something new — group guitar lessons built around real songs, real progress, and a real sense of community.
We use the Rockschool framework as our backbone — a world-class, proven structure that takes you from beginner to confident player. But the grades are optional. What matters here is the music: learning to play the songs you actually love, developing at your own pace, and doing it alongside other people who share your passion.
For younger players, it’s about building confidence, developing social skills, and discovering a love of music in a fun and supportive setting. For adults, it’s a chance to join a growing network of local guitar players — people to jam with, share progress with, and play music alongside long after the course ends.
We’re currently gathering interest ahead of our Midhurst launch. Courses start in September 2026 — register now, it’s free, there’s no obligation, and you’ll be first to hear about places, timetables and pricing.
HOW IT WORKS
Learn songs. Progress together. Build a community.
Our Midhurst group lessons aren’t about racing through a syllabus. They’re about making music that means something to you — with a structure behind you that ensures you’re always moving forward.
🎸 Learning through songs
Every lesson is built around playing real music. The Rockschool framework guides the difficulty, but you’re always learning through actual songs — not dry exercises. You’ll hear yourself improving week by week.
🤝 A social skill for life (young players)
For children and young people, group lessons go beyond technique. They build confidence, encourage listening, teach turn-taking and give young players a genuine sense of belonging. Music is a social skill — and we treat it that way.
🎵 Grades are optional — progress isn’t
We use the Rockschool system as a framework, not a finish line. You don’t have to sit grades — but the structure means you’re always developing real skills at the right level. If you do want a recognised qualification, that path is open to you.
🌍 Join a local guitar community (adults)
Adult learners tell us the best part isn’t just getting better — it’s finding people to play with. Guitar Academy Midhurst will build a local network of players you can jam with, practise alongside, and keep playing music with well beyond the course itself.
✅ Expert, DBS-checked tutors
All our tutors are professional musicians and experienced teachers, fully DBS checked. We know how to make learning stick — and how to keep it enjoyable.
📍 Proven across Hampshire
We’ve been delivering high-quality guitar tuition in Petersfield and Chichester for years. Midhurst is the next step — and we’re bringing the same standards, the same passion, and the same community focus.

THE ROCKSCHOOL FRAMEWORK
A world-class structure — without the pressure
The Rockschool syllabus is used by hundreds of thousands of students across the UK and internationally. It’s built around contemporary music — rock, pop, blues, indie — the kind of music people actually want to play.
We use it as our framework because it works. It gives every student a clear, logical progression — from the very basics of rhythm and chord shapes through to full song performance — ensuring nobody is stuck, bored, or held back.
But here’s the key: sitting grades is entirely optional. You don’t have to take an exam to benefit from this system. The framework simply ensures you’re always learning at the right level, tackling music of the right difficulty, and building genuine skills — not just muscle memory.
If you do want to work towards a recognised Rockschool qualification — from Debut through to Grade 8 — that pathway is fully supported and we have a 100% pass rate.
