Overview

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, a young child or seasoned adult, you are welcome to join us to learn how to play the guitar or ukulele, improve technique and repertoire, enjoy music making, perform, and more! Mason Community Arts Academy in Fairfax, Virginia offers the perfect blend of university-quality guitar and ukulele teachers and a supportive environment with other community members.

Want to give us a try? We suggest starting by scheduling a paid (non-refundable) trial lesson with an instructor to ensure a good fit. After the trial lesson, students can then schedule a consistent day and time for the remainder of the current semester (Fall, Spring, and Summer).

Our instructors are university trained musicians, and many are professional Teaching Artists. All of our teachers undergo a rigorous background check through George Mason University. Lessons take place at the Academy building at 4260 Chain Bridge Road near the George Mason campus.

Along with lessons, students can perform in recitals and take studio classes.

We offer beginner guitar and ukulele classes in our fall and spring semester. Beginner kids guitar camps are hosted in the summer.
