Classical Guitar Lessons

Anthony DeMers giving a young student a private classical guitar lesson in his Pacific Grove studio

Anthony DeMers offers private classical guitar lessons for children and adults, from beginners through advanced players. With more than 20 years of teaching experience, he combines clear technical guidance with careful attention to tone, reading, interpretation, and musical expression.

Lessons are shaped around each student’s age, experience, and goals. Anthony’s approach is patient, structured, and personal, helping students build reliable technique while developing an individual musical voice.

Lessons are available in person at Studio 13 in the Pacific Grove Art Center and online through Zoom. The studio remains near capacity, so scheduling may require advance planning; all inquiries are welcome.

“Being able to sit and play a classical guitar song (by note) for my father has been such a special experience. It is all thanks to Anthony.”
