Get out your guitar and play along!

In class, we’ll teach you how to play some of the songs we’re singing this semester so you can amaze your family and be a rock star at home! Our method of simplifying and modifying chords will have you playing songs the very first day. Classes take place in a relaxed group setting to give you an enjoyable, grownups-only night out.

“The best part of the class is how my children gather around me when I practice at home.

They think I’m a rock star! I’m in trouble, though, because when I play ‘A Ram Sam Sam,’

my daughter keeps saying, ‘Faster! Faster! Faster!’”

Teacher's Bio

Teacher Ranjani, with over 15 years of teaching experience, has dedicated my life to sharing the power of music. I have a gift for working with students of all ages—from beginners picking up their first instrument to those with a strong background in music history who want to deepen their craft. Whether guiding a child through their first guitar chords or helping an adult explore the nuances of folk traditions, I bring patience, encouragement, and genuine joy to every lesson.

I am so excited to be teaching Guitar For Grownups. The Music Together Collection has been such an inspiration to me and the children. Being able to play those songs on the piano and guitar has inspired my 5-year-old to play instruments as well. It has brought us closer together, even with my 15-month-old being able to play and sing at home. And has brought us closer together playing at home. I know it is the same for all families. Children want to be present with their caretakers, and what better way than to learn by playing the music they love!
