WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING:

“I’ve learned more in 4 months with [Lauren] than I have in 2 years with in person instruction.” — Joanne Inzinna

“I started the course about four months ago and cannot get over how far I have come in so short a period of time. I’ve gone from knowing absolutely nothing to being able to play “Country Roads,” “Horse With No Name,” and “Eleanor Rigby.”— Daryl Holmes

“I’d had trouble with other online lessons not showing fingering or strum patterns clearly, but Lauren breaks it down to the very simplest steps that things just really began to click with me. I started lessons with her about 3 months ago and I led worship at church this week for the first time playing my acoustic guitar. I would have never dreamed success would come so quickly!” — Pamela Yates

“When I turned 60, I wanted to take guitar lessons. I signed up for classes at a well-known music store. Four instructors, two music schools and two years later, I didn’t feel like I had learned very much. As each instructor moved on, each new instructor taught in a different style and I always felt like I was starting from square one. I decided to try to learn on my own with YouTube. I came across some videos by Lauren Bateman. After watching a few videos and seeing what I liked, I signed up for Lauren’s online classes. I love them. She is a great instructor, very patient and very concise. Her course is laid out very well and I love Lauren’s videos. They are easy to understand and easy to follow along with. I would highly recommend Lauren Bateman’s online course.” - Lori Bennet


Lauren's teaching is very different the other guitar teachers online, probably because she doesn't have a degree in music. Just like you, Lauren picks up the guitar so she could have fun playing the songs she loves and that's how she teaches.

As a childhood cancer survivor, Lauren knows the importance of achieving your goals today, not tomorrow. That's why Lauren has made it her life's mission to help as many students as possible learn to play guitar with her simple and step-by-step approach.

Unlike most guitar teachers out there, Lauren doesn't have a music degree (she was a scientist) and knows what students want to learn to have fun on the guitar quickly. She doesn't like to bog students down with useless information that they won't use or don't need. If you are not becoming a professional musician there are a number of shortcut you can take to fast track your learning and Lauren wants to teacher them to you.

Lauren has successfully taught guitar for a decade and her methods were so successful that she opened a entire music school around them. She believed in them so much that she quit her job as a scientist to teach and inspire people through music.

Imagine if:

- You could play guitar like you always wanted
- You had a tested step-by-step approach to learning
- You had access to one of the top guitar teachers in the Boston area

Well now you can!

You are never too old to learn. Some of Lauren's favorite student to teach at her studio are those ages 50 and older.

And you don't need natural talent either. No one in Lauren's family played music. That's why she's so passionate about helping you reach your goals because she knows you can. If you believe in yourself, you can do anything.

Don't wait for opportunity. Create it.

Life is a daring adventure or nothing. Start your guitar journey with Lauren today.
