Great Way to LEARN Guitar! I joined Sonora through the "Prep" program a few months ago. I've been "playing" with my guitar for years, but just in the short time I've been with Sonora I can see much improvement! Sonora gives me focus for practicing and also fills in my knowledge gaps with a little music theory that helps it all fit together. I'm really glad I found Sonora and would highly recommend their programs. I've just joined the "Core" program and can't wait to get started!

5 Stars 5 Stars Sonora doesn't just offer you a course and then leave you to your own devices. From the very beginning they have been very involved in my progress. Even before I started working with my mentor, I still had a Sonora rep (Mike) checking in on me very regularly. I can't speak highly enough of my mentor Robb Cappelletto. I feel like Robb is the teacher I've always been looking for. He has the perfect juxtaposition of technicality and musicality. He has a music first approach that I greatly appreciate but is able to teach the technicals in a way that makes them usable.

One of the best decisions I've made One of the best decisions I've made. The cost of the program at the time of my participation was roughly the equivalent of 60-minute weekly private lessons for one (to two) years. I benefited immensely from the sequencing and independent pacing of the curriculum and learned guitar in a way I had not been able to through self-led study. When I had more time, I progressed very quickly; and when I had a baby and had to adjust my practice commitments, it was right there, ready whenever I was. Three years later, I find myself wanting to go back through certain points of the program to further deepen my skills. And, unlike private lessons, I can still utilize the program for study. It's not a one-time benefit!

Truly a pathway to fluency Going from one lesson a week with a guitar teacher to then transitioning to a program like Sonora was a game changer. You are able to improve your skills drastically. With step by step guides on what to practice, why you're practicing what you're practicing and a clear path to fretboard fluency. I've made many connections with things I'd been playing for a long time but didn't understand, and beyond. It's a great feeling being in the hands of an amazing program like this along with their outstanding mentors.

The curriculum and instructors at Sonora Guitar Intensive The curriculum and instructors at Sonora are top notch. I have leveled up my guitar playing in ways I thought were completely out of reach. The more I progress through the curriculum and connect with the instructors the more I get back in playing ability. Highly recommend this way of learning to play the guitar and become more musical in general. What you learn here is transferrable. Something I'm excited about is that I can sing pitches accurately now and this has unlocked so much musically for me. Shout out to Trevor Giancola for honing in on this with me and helping me unlock that skill! I developed this while completing one on one instruction with him (mentorship program) over several months.
