By Noel S. - Cleveland Guitar Teacher

Cleveland's rich history of culture and music will offer guitarists countless ways to expand their enjoyment with the instrument. Listed below are some of the best reasons to take guitar lessons in Cleveland!

  1. Opportunities to Play and Perform

You've been making headway on your guitar skills in big leaps, so how cool would it feel to enjoy performing for others? For solo guitar or pre-rehearsed ensemble playing, open mic nights are the way to go. Check out this web address for Open Mic Cleveland for a good assortment of these opportunities. http://www.openmiccleveland.com/EventListing

On this website you'll also find venues who feature on-stage jam nights for blues and rock. This is a great opportunity to take the thrill level up a notch or two since you'll be backed by professional musicians and pro equipment. One venue to check out is The Brothers Lounge in Cleveland. One Cleveland area venue has offered over $500 in cash and prizes to its best performers of rock, acoustic, blues, bluegrass, country, Americana, folk and jazz.

If you’re looking for something a little more low key, the Root cafe in Lakewood is a child-friendly environment which features a vegetarian menu. Their open mic nights are a relaxing scene for beginners just starting out. http://www.theroot-cafe.com/event/open-mic

The CCGS typically holds concerts at The First Unitarian Church in Shaker Heights, and their annual International Guitar Week Festival takes place at The Cleveland Institute of Music.
