Welcome to Portland Guitar Academy
At Portland Guitar Academy, we believe anyone can learn to play the guitar with the right guidance. Our lessons are designed to inspire confidence and ensure rapid progress for students of all skill levels.
Founded by Sybil Grace in 2011, Portland Guitar Academy prides itself on providing a supportive, non-toxic learning environment where students can make real progress while still moving at their own pace. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced player, our school is a great fit for anyone looking to improve their musicality and guitar skills.
Sybil specializes in teaching American Roots Guitar, Blues, Jazz-Fusion, Rock/Metal Guitar Method, and Pop Guitar from beginner to advanced levels. If you are a general interest guitar student, you will find a perfect fit here. However, if you are exclusively interested in Jazz, Classical, or Flamenco styles, Sybil recommends finding a different instructor who specializes in those areas.
After many years of success, Sybil decided to dedicate a few hours each week to teaching guitar as a community service. She firmly believes that guitar should be accessible to everyone. As part of this mission, she currently offers a free online guitar fundamentals group that students can attend as many times as they would like.
