Looking for the best guitar classes in Delhi? At Prism School of Music you learn guitar the way working musicians play it: acoustic and electric, from your first chords and strumming patterns to lead playing, fingerstyle and your own songs in rock, pop, blues and Bollywood. Our guitar lessons suit complete beginners, children and adults, with one-to-one or small-group classes at the school or online.
Our faculty are among the best guitar teachers in Delhi for a reason: every student follows a structured, curriculum-driven syllabus covering technique, music theory, notation and ear training, with weekly assessments to track progress. When you are ready, you can sit graded guitar exams with Trinity College London (Rock & Pop), RSL Rockschool or LCME, and perform live at our recitals and the monthly Jam'In, so your guitar classes in Delhi lead to real progress on a real stage.
Our South Delhi school sits on CR Park Main Road, in a neighbourhood with a long musical tradition, and guitar is one of its most popular courses. Students come from CR Park, Greater Kailash, Kalkaji, Alaknanda and Nehru Place to learn acoustic or electric guitar, from first chords and strumming to lead playing, fingerstyle and their own songs.
The CR Park school opened in 2023 and teaches the same graded curriculum as our Gurgaon and Faridabad schools. Lessons run Tuesday to Friday afternoons and evenings and all day on weekends, one-to-one or in small groups. Guitarists can sit ISoM graded exams first, with Trinity Rock & Pop, RSL and LCME also available, and play at Prism recitals and the monthly Jam'In.
