Looking for the best guitar classes in Gurgaon? 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 Gurgaon 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 Gurgaon lead to real progress on a real stage.
Guitar was one of the first courses taught at Prism's original school in Sector 38, Gurugram, which opened in 2020 beside Medanta, just off Sohna Road. Today our Gurgaon guitar students range from seven-year-olds learning their first chords to working professionals from South City, Malibu Towne and Nirvana Country who finally want to play the songs they love, on acoustic or electric guitar.
Lessons run Wednesday to Friday afternoons and evenings and all day on weekends, one-to-one or in small groups. You follow a graded curriculum with weekly assessments, take ISoM graded exams when you are ready (Trinity Rock & Pop and RSL are also available), and play live at our recitals and the monthly Jam'In. Rated 4.5 on Google by 98 families, the school offers a free demo first.
