What Irvine Families Are Reading
Music and Mastery and Mountain City Music Co. are the same company. Mountain City Music Co. is our original name. These are verified Google reviews from Mountain City Music guitar students and families, quoted exactly as they were written.
"Mountain City Music is a great company, if you are looking for music lessons. It is well organized and well operated. My son’s guitar instructor teaches him the fundamentals of music as well and working on songs my son specifically wants to learn. My son really looks forward to his lesson. And it’s very convenient that they come to your home."
"My granddaughter’s guitar teacher is excellent. She is learning beginning guitar and has never had guitar lessons before. The teacher is very knowledgeable, an excellent musician who is wisely tailoring the lessons to include the type of music she likes. As a result she is motivated to learn and practice."
"Best experience I've had with guitar lessons. I have an awesome teacher and I've been learning a lot. Coming from a beginner guitar player, I highly recommend coming to Mountain City Music Company if you're trying to learn!"

You know who is walking through your door before they get there
Before a teacher meets your family, they pass a DOJ and FBI LiveScan check. It is a background check on file, not a promise on a website. You meet them at the free first lesson, before you commit to anything. If they are not right for your child, we find you a new teacher at no charge.
The lesson happens in your living room, not across town
No drive after school, no waiting room, no second trip home. Your teacher comes to you in Irvine, guitar in hand. If you already have a guitar, they teach on the one your child practices on all week. You do not need to own one to start.
Your first lesson is free, and this is exactly what happens
Pick a time that suits you. We confirm it with your teacher within 24 hours. Then they come to your home and teach a full lesson, free. If you stay, it is a flat monthly rate, month to month, with a money-back guarantee.

Play the solo you have always wanted to play.
You did not have to start at seven. Some of our adult students are brand new. Others are coming back after years away. Some taught themselves and got stuck on the same five songs. Your teacher builds each lesson on the songs you want to play, not a stack of scales. Most students play something real sooner than they expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to own a guitar before the first lesson?
No. Lots of students start before they buy one. At the first lesson, your teacher will help you pick the right size and type of guitar. That way you don't buy the wrong one. Call (760) 573-2120 to book.
I am an adult beginner. Is it too late to start?
No. About a third of our students are adults. Most have never played, or they are coming back after years away. Lessons are one on one, so no class sets your pace. We build them on the music you want to play. Most students play something real sooner than they expect.
How young can my child start guitar lessons?
As young as five. We teach adult beginners too. Each lesson is one on one. The pace, hand shapes and songs fit your child's age and goals.
Do you come to homes in Irvine for guitar lessons?
Yes. We come to homes all over Irvine. Each lesson is private and in your home. Your first guitar lesson is free, so you can try it with no risk.
