Benefits of Enrolling in Guitar Academy
Students should understand that playing music can be extremely beneficial in several ways. Our guitar lessons help students with analytical thought processes, understanding theoretical concepts and applying them, and cultivating a habit of practice and discipline through self-expression...
At the Orange County Guitar Academy, we see the guitar as a fundamental part of that belief, as it is one of the easiest instruments to learn to play and express yourself. According to an article for Federal Practitioner, Debra Shipman, PhD, RN explains that the “therapeutic outcomes of playing music include better communication skills, improved emotional release, and decreased anxiety and agitation. Musical training promotes cognitive function, mental health, and a connection to others.”
We truly believe in the power of music to empower, enable and uplift people’s lives. We offer a convenient, accessible and friendly environment in which our students can learn and grow as musicians.
What to Expect in Guitar Lessons

From rock and jazz, to classical and Latin-inspired styles like Flamenco, our guitar lessons help students navigate the many styles of music to find the ones that they love. We offer guitar lessons that are extremely versatile, and designed to be as fun, interactive and engaging as possible. Our primary instructor, Dr. Payam Larijani, often says that offering students the ability to experience different genres and letting them experiment with different ideas is extremely beneficial. This makes our guitar lessons unique
With an extremely deep background in music and influences that range from legends like Pink Floyd to Andalusian gypsy music, Dr. Larijani is the very embodiment of that philosophy.
Personalized Guitar Lessons
At the Orange County Guitar Academy, we offer structured guitar lessons tailored to the goals and previous experience of each student...
Beginners can expect a balanced session, starting with warm-up exercises to get them accustomed to moving up and down the fretboard. Each guitar lesson is in an individual setting, giving the instructor the ability to observe and instruct the student directly. Doing this helps students build on their technique, correct posture, and learn different ways in which they can navigate the guitar.
Students who have the basics down will typically move on to learning more about the style of music they prefer. Learning music is a highly expressive endeavor, so we offer a free, introductory session so that you can get a feel for how our lessons go.
