Over 20 years ago, a small school was founded in London that grew and grew until it became known worldwide as The Guitar Institute. And now, The Guitar Institute has become part of London's Institute of Contemporary Music Performance!

Importantly, our teachers also understand both the practical and theoretical elements required by the modern guitarist. You can count on years of experience when you sit in one of our classes!

The Institute offers courses for guitarists of all levels, ages and musical ambitions.
