NYC Guitar School teachers are the most highly qualified, vetted, trained, and student-oriented guitar teachers around. We have a proven track record in after-school programming around the tri-state area for 8 years and we have quickly adapted to virtual teaching in the last two years – teaching thousands of virtual experiences including camps, classes, and lessons.
NYC Guitar School’s unique virtual classes mix small group bonding and learning with independent practice and breakout coaching from NYC Guitar School’s world class instructors, all via video conference and cloud based digital audio work spaces. The result is an engaging, immersive experience for young musicians!
Virtual programming for after-school is available for the 2021-2022 school year. We are no longer offering after-school programs onsite at partner schools.

Raving Reviews
“Our 10 year old is loving his (virtual) Kids Rock Band camp with NYC Guitar School sooooooooooooo much. We are thrilled to see how much he is enjoying every aspect, from the learning to the music to the friendships. This is a very high quality program that is exceeding our expectations.”
-Karen, mom of 10 yr old in North Carolina.
“What a fantastic experience! Sammy *loved* the camp, both the Digital Song Editing one and the Rock Band. Thank you for this experience and for all the care and attention you gave to Sammy.”
-Sid, dad of an 8 yr old in Massachusetts.
“In all honesty, I wasn’t sure the virtual experience would work for a Rock Band but it was amazing. My daughter loved it and the technology they used promoted a very collaborative experience. In the COVID world, I keep looking for silver linings and the creative potential for making music seems to be wide open. NYC Guitar School is enthusiastically looking for ways to tap that potential and encouraging students to enjoy the ride.”
-Agnes, mom of 15 yr old in NYC.
